Happy to have won an award for my work in increasing and recognising racial diversity in the University of Glasgow and the CRUK Scotland Institute. Some people seem to think EDI is bad, I’m glad to work in an institution that knows it’s important.

Thank you so much to the organisers of the CSHL Biology of Cancer: Microenvironment & Metastasis for the opportunity to share my PhD work.

Good news: The posters on my office wall increased by one yesterday thanks to the CRC STARS Kick off meeting.

Bad news: My ADHD once again made it incredibly hard to listen and focus for a day of talks and remain social enough to talk about my poster.

What I love about science is how creative it is, especially designing experiments and thinking about the next steps.
I nominate @amyshergold.bsky.social @vichaicow.bsky.social and @marwaosman.bsky.social
