Wishing Labour and Reform the day they deserve today. Huge congratulations to the Green’s Hannah Spencer.

I have won the PI birthday gift award this year by (as far as I know) being the only entrant.

Happy birthday @wvschaik.bsky.social 😎

A coffee cup with ‘Lücy’ written on the cardboard- my name with the U turned into a smiley face with an umlaut

Every Monday my name becomes Lücy 😎

Sad to see you go but so so happy for you! Will miss our office chats dearly.

Nicole Dubilier is standing in front of her opening slides that says 'Eating your microbiome: nutritional symbioses between chemosynthetic bacteria and marine invertebrates'

Excellent line-up for microbiology/microbiome speakers in Birmingham this week.

Yesterday we hosted @cibiocm.bsky.social, presenting his stunning work on the human microbiome, and today's @imibirmingham.bsky.social Harry Smith lecture by Nicole Dubilier

that's kinda the joke, but I need to stay professional sadly

The same research poster picture with no censoring

Accidentally put the censored version I sent to internet pals oops- here is the version with the affiliations and my lovely collaborators!

It's not ICE out. It's dismantle ICE. It's abolish ICE. Don't just get them out of MN and make them someone else's problem. No city or state should be next. Make them non-existent.

Had a great few days at #VOMUK26! Thank you to the organisers for the opportunity to share my research and chat to so many fabulous people🧪🦠🧫

My poster entitled ‘Elucidating phage resistance in Enterococcus’

Presenting my work in fabulous Newcastle for #VOMUK26! Come chat to me about my poster (or your opinions on The Traitors/Formula 1/crafting).

Texts between me and my brother. I said 'If I get boba on my way home do you want something too? I've not left yet so 5ish esliest' at 16:15. He replied 'sure'

Me moving near my brother does have its perks for him on occasion.

So someone sent me a whole ass death threat yesterday.

Why?

Because I banned them from a discord server a year ago that I'm not in anymore (it's associated with my old university) and so can't let them appeal their ban.

Why are people like this.

average monday morning- my PI showed up to the office and dropped off raw dog food on my colleague’s desk

Confessional with an attractive Irish man is reminding me too much of fleabag icl

I absolutely loved that from him

If you go into it like hardcore F1 fans go into DTS it's kinda enjoyable in a cringe way

10 years ago tonight I decided I didn't want to be alive anymore, so I'm going to sit in the exact same room 10 years later and remember how much I fucking love being alive.

Merry Christmas from the friends that made the most important element of Christmas happen- bread sauce.

Woo go Birmingham #strictly

A few inches of hair that I cut off

cutting my fringe 20 minutes before a date is exceedingly Lucy coded

Also would have been helpful to come out before the abstract deadline! People may have been able to convince PIs etc to let them go knowing they may be able to get the award

Come work with me and do fun micro innit

Unironically our group is a vibe and Willem is a goated PI 10/10 would recommend applying

When you're against Red Bull and you still win the most toxic team of the year award, you know something is up

Monza showed Oscar his team weren't behind him and screwed his head up. He has 70 races to Lando's 152, it's a bit damming to have your teammate with so much less experience beat you in *your* team.

Three plates of fancy food on a dimly lit table

You know a restaurant is nice when it doesn't feel like you're in Birmingham anymore.

You know my brain is rot when I saw it and thought of an among us bean

Also based from them the BBC could never do something this cool

RIP me being able to mildly annoy @wvschaik.bsky.social with Dutch Eurovision memes

my specific main guide leader was problematic but the community was lovely
