My paper exploring the impact of embedded microbubbles in protein hydrogels is out in @BioMaterSci!! Thanks to everyone involved in the project at @MNP_Leeds and @isisneutronmuon. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Happy International Women's Day - Do YOU know these women in #AFM? Celebrating #IWD24 with the publication of our annual #WomeninAFM list - how many of these fab folk do you know? hubs.li/Q02nwHQz0 #IWD2024 #WomeninSTEM

Looking forward to #UKColloids2023 and presenting @Christa_pb work on Structural and mechanical properties of folded protein hydrogels with embedded microbubbles. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

My story of how Public Engagement kept me from completely dropping out of grad school. Thanks to ⁦@ScienceMagazine⁩ @ScienceCareers for helping me share it.⁩ Scientists shouldn’t have to choose between public outreach and research | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

If you're publishing a list of the 'World's Best Chemistry Scientists' and only one of the Top 100 is a woman, and the female Nobel Prize Winners also don't appear in the Top 100, you might possibly reflect that your methodology is rubbish? research.com/scientists-ran…

@peamches Adorable 😍

Modelling network formation in folded protein hydrogels by cluster aggregation kinetics† led by Kalila R Cook, David Head and Lorna Dougan @DouganGroup doi.org/10.1039/D3SM00…

@Marijana_Drag @DouganGroup @BioMaterSci @SalPeyman @MNP_Leeds @physicsleedsuni @BraggRoyceLeeds @AstburyCentre @isisneutronmuon @EPSRC @ERC_Research Thank you!!

@DouganGroup @BioMaterSci @Christa_pb @SalPeyman @MNP_Leeds @physicsleedsuni @BraggRoyceLeeds @AstburyCentre @isisneutronmuon @EPSRC @ERC_Research We did similar approach with silica particles 😍 in my first grant ♥️ very interesting work

Delighted to see Christa Brown's paper is a HOT ARTICLE in @BioMaterSci Structural and mechanical properties of folded protein hydrogels with embedded microbubbles pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… @Christa_pb

Read this month's HOT and free to access @BioMaterSci articles here now! ➡ rsc.li/bm-hot-articles

Check out my HOT article🔥thanks @BioMaterSci for selecting my paper for this collection! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

This displays how I feel trying to convert from metric to imperial 😂

If you’re looking for a PhD position in soft matter/biomaterials with two amazing supervisors, look no further. As a former PhD student in the Dougan group I highly recommend applying!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Our Women in AFM 2023 Blog is out NOW! Celebrating the work of 10 brilliant women working in AFM now! hubs.li/Q01HrFvZ0 #IWD2023 #WomeninSTEM #WomeninAFM #AtomicForceMicroscopy #WomeninScience

🚨Really cool work 🚨

If you have minority students: 1. celebrate their achievements 2. support them through the additional barriers they face 3. give them space to have a voice. I’m thankful to have had people do that for me as a women in physics #IWD

@peamches @SamLP @UniversityLeeds @physicsleedsuni So happy for Alex yet also disappointed that again the @UniversityLeeds is not supporting the success of their female PhD students?

@cepugsley @RORgroup Big congrats!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

So, I passed my PhD viva yesterday! 🎉 Thank you to my examiners @RORgroup and Stephen Evans for a great discussion and overall viva experience! I also need to thank my incredibly supportive supervisors, and my lovely colleagues who gave me these cool gifts! I’ll miss you all!

Did you know you can combine embroidery skills with #STEM learning? Find out how with 'SAWstitching: stitching self-avoiding walks' in the #BSW23 Secondary activity pack! Students will learn how networks connect. Click here: bsa.sc/BSW23-activity… Thanks to @UniversityLeeds

@foreverRED1994 So exciting to see your release studies!!
