Days like this...where I get to use a hammer and a scalpel... basically #research and therapy all in one 🤣 #MicroSky #PhD #Microbiology

I did a thing! I presented my PhD work at #Biofilms11 and it was amazing to see the level of support I have received before and after from attendees! #PhD #MicroSky

I can now go and breathe 😌

Looking forward to Day 2 of #Biofilms11 ... also a bit nervous about my PhD talk! Did a little run through! #PhD

Let's get started with #Biofilms11 !! Looking forward to all the talks!

On the way to Cardiff for #Biofilms11 looking forward to presenting my work and hearing all the other wondering talks in the programme!

That's also a wrap for #Microbio25... had a great time networking and presenting my work in a jazzy jumpsuit! Back to the lab now next week! #MicroSky #Conferences

Fan girl moment to meet and network with @prakashlab.bsky.social who also kindly gifted a @teamfoldscope.bsky.social microscope, which I'm excited to use!! #biologists100

That's a wrap for #biologists100! It's been an amazing experience and massive thank you to @biologists.bsky.social for organising it and @kateduncan.bsky.social @sergemostowylab.bsky.social for selecting me to give a talk! #MicroSky

All ready for the #biologist100 plenary lectures! @biologists.bsky.social

Not a bad way to get ready for #biologist100 relax in the hotel, coding and looking at the itinerary! @biologists.bsky.social
