For Tilly, who would have turned 15 years old today. I always wear the silver locket with two tiny pictures of her. Miss her always, but most of all on her birthday.

As of today, I am officially Professor of Developmental Science. If you had asked me when I was a little girl what I wanted to be when I grew up, it certainly wouldn’t have been a professor! – I don’t think I even imagined that this was something I could be one day. So how did I get here?

Can’t quite believe it, but in a week we’re taking this little beauty home. I guess I’d better learn how to be a cat mum!

That’s what a day of testing toddlers in the lab looks like on my Fitbit. Really is all the exercise I need! ☺️
