Had the privilege of presenting our group’s research to a patient support group this week 💙
I was nervous at first, but chocolate and cat pictures helped break the ice.
Grateful to my supervisors for the opportunity & to the group for the warm welcome!
Cat pictures included 🐱

Happy Academic Autumn! 🍂✨

Back from holiday & kicked things off with the PGR writing retreat + End-of-Summer Celebration. Structured, friendly spaces (and free coffee ☕️) make the PGR life feel less daunting!

Current experimental design: consulting ChatGPT on how to survive on £29 until the next scholarship✨✨. #phdstudent

Last week I hosted a journal club + workshop on reading academic papers. We shared challenges, tips, and went through two papers together (one for skimming, one for deep reading). It was a great reminder that small shifts (in practice and mentality) can make all work feel more manageable

I gave a talk at Pint of Science this year!!
2 anxiety attacks, 1 tequila, 1 espresso martini later... I made it. 😅
Talked liquid biopsies, cell death & early diagnosis.
Grateful, tired, buzzing.
7 yrs ago I sat in the crowd—now I’m on stage. Full circle 🫶
