Great to be at the launch of this exciting partnership earlier today and super proud of the team for delivering a seamless event. My only regret is that I didn’t get chance to say hi to my fellow Teessider and North East cheerleader @stephmcgovern.bsky.social (thanks for hosting!)

I’m also a solo mum by choice to a 2 year old boy, who already has more wit and charisma, can throw better and run faster. Must get it from his dad.

First post, no pressure… I finally made the leap across from the bad place and hoping to find all the wonderful people I connected with there and then lost to the algorithm. I’m a lapsed aspiring scientist now working in higher education comms. But I’ll always be an immunology nerd at heart!
