I joined School of Life Sciences 3 months ago and these guys have been so welcoming. Gibbet Hill Rovers making it feel like being apart of a community instantly. Thanks to @davidroper2.bsky.social for helping me get involved. Looking forward to season 3!

How do you know you have transitioned from postdoc to PI? When you enter the lab after a hiatus and can’t run a gel properly

I’ve landed at the SLS, University of Warwick! 🎉 Thanks to the Wellcome Trust for supporting this next chapter. Everyone’s been so welcoming, and I’m excited for the challenges ahead (even the endless quizzes 📝).

Risk assessments first, then into the lab! Missing old friends, see you soon for EM 🔬❄️

A day when you actually see bands from your PCR 🙌 shame that sometimes more isn’t actually better in these cases. But we take the wins
