🧠 🎉 Lastly, I took on several community roles — including PhD Student Representative for the #CB Division and Meeting Organiser for the #CLSIG — all of which I greatly enjoyed. These roles helped me feel deeply connected to the @bartongrp.bsky.social, #CLSIG and the wider #CB Division.

This was a valuable experience that allowed me to learn something entirely new, take a step back and gain fresh perspective on my PhD research. One of my favourite features of this amazing DTP I was fortunate enough to join!

🌐 🔍 As part of my #EASTBIO #DTP, I undertook a 3-month professional internship - #PIPS - at the @abpi.bsky.social. During this time, I worked alongside an excellent team at the Schools website project, which contributed to receiving the #ASE Green Tick award.

🌱 ⭐ I also had the opportunity to act as a day-to-day #supervisor for seven students at various stages, including #summer interns, #honours, #master’s, and #rotation-year PhD students. This was a deeply rewarding and collaborative experience.

🧬 🌍 During my time in #Dundee, I learned an incredible amount from my excellent supervisors, mentors, examiners, thesis committee, colleagues and friends. My work led to four first-author peer-reviewed #publications, one preprint and another manuscript currently in preparation.

I returned in 2019 to pursue a #Master's degree internship in the @bartongrp.bsky.social at the School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, followed by a #PhD studentship from 2020 to 2025 and a short #postdoctoral position.
