@SchuethAnna @WomenInOptics Congrats! I hope I never get bored of the joy from looking down a microscope! My favourite thing to do when new students start is show them my bacteria on a light microscope and watch their faces see living, moving science right in front of them. It's still just so cool!

It's been 3 weeks since I accepted the assistant professor position at Maastricht University. Still so excited. The future will be full of cool microscopy research. Fell in love with microscopy as a child & never stopped. That's why the #microscope tattoo.🔬🧠😍 @WomenInOptics

So incredibly proud of @baileysecker for this review paper, which he co-wrote while writing his thesis! Brilliant scientist combining classical micro with hitech bioinformatics for his PhD and the absolute best lab buddy to have! 😊

It was an absolute joy working on this review summarising all we've learnt about Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus in the past 60 years. Huge thanks to @SimonaHuwiler and Ting Lai for such a wonderful collaboration and true team effort. 🎉 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

What a wonderful Monday surprise! Thank you very much @Bdello_meeting @SimonaHuwiler for the mug and goodies! Very peculiar seeing my little design printed and on a mug but very happy to have a souvenir from such a brilliant conference. #bdellovibrio

@BettySLai @OpenAcademics @PhD_Genie I've always said I'd love to do an undergrad in engineering of some sort. It never was really presented to me as an option at the all girls secondary school I went to, but I'd love to learn more about how things work (why I went into science in the first place)

Despite the grumpy look on my face, we all had a great time pitching to #YES21 today. As soon as the camera was off we all did a very happy dance round Maethrill Therapeutics "Head Office". Here's to more research in meeting womens health needs!

Full text is here! This project is what motivated me to finally go get my PhD. It reminded me of how brilliant and complex bacteria are. Such cool, little, awkward things. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… @eLife

Dose 2 done! Grateful to have no bad side effects so far after a brutal first dose. Either way, the temporary pain was worth it to reduce the chance of getting or spreading COVID-19. Very happy.

Gotta tell you folks, I listen to a lot of podcasts. Sadly, most of them have topics that upset or depress me (this is just my feeling, not universal). So I need some uplifting podcasts. I like Atlas Obscura. Any other "fun" podcasts to lift my mood?

Thought I'd finally managed an uneventful week in 2021 until I found this little guy stuck in my porch roof behind a light fitting. They're very cute though so I'll forgive the near heart attack when I heard them squeak above me.

I am still grateful to have been able to help out during the pandemic as a scientist, and I am so incredibly proud of those I worked alongside as part of the testing effort as a whole. But what I saw tonight was unacceptable and saddening. It must be better. 5/5

Somehow this has been lost or wasn't shown or wasn't happening anymore. Focus needs to be on getting the right people with the right training doing the work properly and safely. Without the rushed targets and 'any result will do'. Where this happens is another debate. 4/n

Got told I needed to watch the #BBCPanorama episode. As someone who volunteered last Spring at the MK lab I was sad to see what happened. We were taught every sample matters, to cross check every barcode, scraping the labels off bags if needed. 1/n
