Something a little different - this on working part time in academic research. Some of the pleasures but also the challenges. Was lucky to work with some brilliant people on this and we had a great experience with @elife.bsky.social

Looking forward to welcoming Prof. Anna Huttenlocher to the University of Bristol for our @uobppn.bsky.social Snapshot Seminar series (kindly sponsored by @physoc.bsky.social). Would love to have more people stop by for the talk, if they are in the Bristol area! To be held on 27th Feb. at 1PM GMT.

Glad SDB brought back the #scicomm award and thrilled it went to my fishy comrade @mads100tist.bsky.social! Congrats, Joaquín 🎉

Nobody was going to remind me that Black History Month actually starts in October in the UK 🤦‍♂️ I can still celebrate American occasions though, right 😅

Observing and celebrating Black History Month by learning more about the life and legacy of Henrietta Lacks, which is more than just HeLa cells. If you’d like to know more as well, read this piece from the University of Bristol: www.bristol.ac.uk/research/imp... I’ll share a bit in this thread 1/n

Two terrific mentors across the globe and you get to work with #zebrafish! What’s not to love? (besides what @oehlerslab.org pointed out 😂)

Got to see my first rugby game with the little one when Bristol Bears Women played at home today. Not sure what the rules were but it was really entertaining, the food was scrummy (pun intended) and we got to see the American powerhouse known as Ilona Maher!

Still haven’t found a good home for this. Onwards and upwards from here I guess 🤷‍♂️
