Nice to spend the morning in the magnificent Playfair Library at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social discussing how to better support #carers in #STEMM, organised by @carersinstemm.bsky.social, and with my very own dependent alongside me as it’s half term!

Absolutely delighted that our superstar #postdoc @lizihegarty.bsky.social was awarded the @cmvm-edinburghuni.bsky.social Student Support & Supervision Award for #PAW 2025. Thoroughly deserved for everything she does for @emmersonlab-irr.bsky.social, @bainlab.bsky.social & @edinuni-irr.bsky.social

A cracking meal complete with piper & Ceilidh to round off the second day of #EMDS2025 in #Edinburgh

Lovely @emmersonlab-irr.bsky.social outing with @lizihegarty.bsky.social and & @erinwatson.bsky.social to celebrate @abelsoto.bsky.social joining the lab for the summer and welcome incoming PhD student Natalie

I'll soon be advertising for a 3 year postdoc to join our lab at @edinuni-irr.bsky.social exploring #macrophages in salivary gland #development. Candidates should have a strong background in immunology/macrophage biology and/or developmental biology & key skills as below. Informal enquiries welcome!

What an incredible setting for a conference exploring the diverse range of model animals used in scientific research! #EMBOvertebratemodels @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social #Edinburgh #Scotland

Fantastic talk from Sophie Brumm who’s undertaking her #postdoc with @cellysally.bsky.social at @edinuni-irr.bsky.social in the afternoon session of #SDBG2025 👏🏻 #development #cells

A lovely day spent in Cambridge at @cambridgeuni.bsky.social Department of Pathology. Thank you @mcgovernlab.bsky.social for the invitation to present in the @britsocimm.bsky.social Cambridge Immunology seminar series and for being such amazing hosts!

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the #FameLab #Scotland finals tonight as part of #EdSciFest at @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social with my young sidekick, who speedily volunteered as an audience participant when he realised the role was chief leaf blower-ping pong ball catcher! #scicomm #STEM #science

Great to be back in Perth for @britsocimm.bsky.social #SIGNET2025 to hear all about the exciting #immunology research happening across 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
