It's a privilege to be able to do marathons & I do not take this for granted.

Similarly I will no longer take the skin on my toes for granted 😀

Berlin Marathon - DONE 🤩 3rd major ✅

Although it was a PW, I don’t think I’ve ever felt prouder crossing a finish line. The heat on Sunday added an extra level of brutality 🔥

As part of #postdocappreciationweek @livuni-ismib.bsky.social
postdocs can attend this networking event on 17th September. Sponsored by @proteintech.bsky.social

Please tell the excellent postdocs in your life 🤩

I want to get better at this. Leadership roles interest me, but I worry my confidence + lack of verbal clarity will hold me back...

So I’d love to ask:

Have you ever taken public speaking/articulation workshops that made a difference?

What’s helped you build confidence in leading discussions?

I have little confidence in public speaking, especially if it’s less rehearsed. I feel exposed + like an imposter.

I judge my own Yorkshire accent as “weak” or “less intelligent.” Add ADHD “busy brain” → my communication feels less clear than I’d like

I had the privelage of presenting & leading a group discussion around making learning more inclusive for ADHD students (& basically everyone!)

Proud of myself, yet I notice how much I still struggle in these setting; chatting informally is fine, but “work” convos + public speaking feel harder

This week I attended my 1st Education Conference @biochemsoc.bsky.social Promoting Teaching Excellence in Biosciences Education

I loved the conf! It was great to hear from like-minded individuals, how we can make our education more accessible & sustainable (these were the 2 main themes)

I started some #wedsnedaywonder posts

One thing that's made me happy today... absolutely nailing my custom Bruce merch (on a budget!)

(Admittedly in my Mel Robins Fan Club era)

Challenge for the week.... each morning, look in the mirror, give yourself a high five, and tell yourself "today is going to be a great day"

Finish the day by writing down one thing that has brought you happiness from the day

Lovely image!

This is getting serious, Bruce has now visited a restaurant in West YORKSHIRE & I only discovered after the fact.

Thank you for everything Bruce! The most precious thing, HOPE!

If you're in the North West of England, something might feel different.

A God-like figure is in the area.

Welcome Bruce (PS, where can I get this jacket 👀)
