10 years ago today I brought my tiny baby home. Today I've had to leave her in the hands of the hospital hoping she's going to be ok💔

My grandad asked him to look after me in his last few days. How could I say no?

@JazBaz20 @StaffsUni @SUBioscience @elleatkins @ArthurHosie @richhalfpenny Yay!!! See you next week 😀

I know I've always been last minute but this was next level 🤣 less than a week before we start but I'm in! @StaffsUni @SUBioscience @elleatkins @ArthurHosie @richhalfpenny see you sooooooon 😍

Ready for another push. I did say I wasn't quite done with learning yet 😀 @SUBioscience @StaffsUni

I've spent my summer holidays helping out with Summer School at the school I work for delivering science sessions for 9,10 and 11 year olds. 3 weeks later I'm out of ideas. Does anyone have any? They are 40 minute sessions and need to be pretty engaging.

The world just lost some sparkle. A man filled with fun and love who exuded it freely. A legacy of support, tenderness, warmth affection, trust and love.

What a day, what an opportunity, what a 3 years. First class degree, a little mention from the vice chancellor, friends for life and probably too much drink 😬. Thanks for the experience all. @StaffsUni @JazBaz20 @SUBioscience

@EarlyYearsAmy @drkatyvigurs @EarlyYearsAmy I'm so sorry we didn't realise you were off for the rest of the week! Thank you so much for the love, guidance, support and fun you have given to Niall he absolutely adores you. There will be a gift waiting for you when you get back. All the best for the future❤️

An emotional day before I go on annual leave! Last day of seeing children who are off on new adventures. Feel very privileged to have been part of these children's lives and to have met such wonderful families! We wish you all the happiness and success moving forward 🌻🙌

I found out I will be graduating with a First Class degree inbetween innoculating agar plates 🧫for Y9 kids and making up 2 litres of Copper (II) Sulphate🔷️ whilst surrounded by past Science teachers who I am now fortunate enough to call colleagues and friends.

And that is that. What an experience. Thank you to every single person who made the last 3 years enjoyable. Thank you @ArthurHosie for keeping me sane through out 😊. I made friends for life and a career path to keep me occupied for the foreseeable. @JazBaz20 @SUBioscience

I had the chance to talk about my what now feels like my fourth child. Thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to talk about my project and hear all about everyone else's. What a group of people to work alongside. 🦟👩‍🔬👩‍🎓 @SUBioscience #Proudtobestaffs

What started off as a devastating week has picked up with a job offer perfect for me and a dance with my baby❤️

@AmandaSherratt1 @StaffsUni Niall has been hunting for some to bring back

This team! Even on their well deserved break they are thinking of the next learning opportunity for our children @StaffsUni nursery!

Thought I would treat myself after putting the final touches to my project. 3 years ago i would never have trusted myself to see university through until the end. Old me would be so proud of how far we have come.

I've missed this place so much @DonnaLouiseUK

I got ridiculously excited to see this in the new Catalyst building @StaffsUni !!! Niall took the words out of my mouth with a "WOW!". @ChangingPlaceUK a beautiful new accessible bathroom to add to a very small list of accessible bathrooms in Stoke on Trent. 💜

"You either get bitter or you get better. It's that simple. You take what has been given to you and allow it to build you or tear you down." Rare diseases touch everyone around the person, I like to think my people got better 😌 #RareDiseaseDay2022

Sambuca is not my friend, but you are 😘 @JazBaz20

This little beauty fell in to my hands at just the right time. 😀🦟 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35175513/

@JazBaz20 All stores are the same. I walk around sometimes going but I don't want my top to say 'Gratitude, Positivity' or have a giant pair of lips why cant it just be plain 😭. I happily chose my clothes from the men's section.

I've got to admit I rolled my eyes when I heard this on the news this morning but after reading the full thread, it's outrageous. Where's a #WomenInSTEM top when you need one! @AmyKnapper1 have you seen these what do you think?
