Was great to join with other scientists at the Norwich Research Park in our tie-dye lab coats at this year's #NorwichPride. Such an important event that I was glad to be a part of

Last week I had a great time at Pint of Science talking about all things biofilm! I spoke about why biofilm research is important and how it affects your every day life. Thanks to all the organisers for this fab experience!! #pint25 @pintofscience.uk @quadraminstitute.bsky.social
