Awesome to present my work for the first time at #molhelm23

[Christy Wray @CWrayQUB]

@RussMorphew Thanks Russ! I'll still be a part of team Fluke at heart 🪱

[Christy Wray @CWrayQUB]

Slightly late, but very happy to announce I successfully defended my PhD thesis with minor corrections earlier this month! 🥳

Still love my worms and all my worm friends, but I've jumped over to cancer as a postdoc at The University of Oulu, Finland! 🇫🇮

@LeeMeehan2 Cheers Lee!

[Christy Wray @CWrayQUB]

And for obvious reasons I'm jumping ship here, but please find me and connect over at bsky [dot] app/profile/cwray.bsky.social 🤘

Been a pretty great week, capped off with a long coming publication as co-first author!

Awesome collaborative effort into nematode neuropeptide conservation, check it out!

@DrPipDunne Thank you Phil!

[Christy Wray @CWrayQUB]

PhD submitted! Ready to sleep for a few years now I reckon... Or a few weeks at least, then off to Finland!

Marathon not a sprint PhD analogy... It was painful and just kept going, but enough about the PhD...One marathon done and now just a few weeks left to finish thesis before submission!

And very happy to say I'll be joining the breast cancer genetics team in @UniOulu in January!

@JohnGilleard @UniOulu Thanks John! I think the winters out there rival Calgary, although big coffee culture to keep warm 😁

@SheffdeParty My god 😍

@MarinaPapaiak @stephenrdoyle @DrCinziaCanta @BryoEvolution @phylofacts Really cool work! Congrats to all involved

[Christy Wray @CWrayQUB]

Come a long way from being terrified of setting foot in the lab to the mythical triple qPCR run... Almost finished wet lab work for PhD!

Very much enjoying #socepa2024 in Seville - managed to win my favourite prize of all time coming 3rd in a quiz, Spanish artisan leeks!

Después de un largo viaje he llegado a Sevilla! Estoy deseando comenzar el concurso #socepa24 @SO_CE_PA @Socepa2024

@tapairportugal Hi, thanks for the reply although you didn't actually answer if I can/should still bring a checked bag?

[Christy Wray @CWrayQUB]

@tapairportugal Hi, I've asked another question regarding baggage

[Christy Wray @CWrayQUB]

@tapairportugal Hello, I'm flying from Dublin to Seville via Lisbon on Sunday, will this flight be going ahead?
