In the long term, we need a better solution than just watching wave after wave of Covid roll by... even if individually they aren't causing massive disruption, they are constantly adding to ill health of pop'n & causing more short and long term workplace & education absence. 3/3

Honestly thought I invested in spice racks to save cupboard space. Turns out it was just so I could invest in a larger spice selection...

@TheLastLeg #IsItOkay my 96 y/o grandad's cancer biopsy got postponed by over a week due to the Queen's death?

@brodyjgibson @PhDVoice @PhDthings @PhD_Balance Mendeley, but the version where you can search for papers within the programme

@deepesh92 @PhDVoice I always feel bad taking time off but you have a holiday allowance for a reason, so make sure you use it! I think my supervisor would be annoyed if I didn't take the time to look after myself. PhDs are a marathon, not a sprint!

[Catherine Marie Shelton @CatMarie1995]

First 5k post-covid tomorrow is scary... but I'm excited to support my research group!

Vaxed but NOT relaxed. Here's why. 🧵

@afatscientist I feel honoured to have had you as my lecturer and supervisor - you are one of the best academic role models I have come across. Thank you 😊 Wishing you the best of luck with everything!

[Catherine Marie Shelton @CatMarie1995]

Got a tree for my flat today. Currently sat admiring it and listening to chilled vintage pop music. Accepted I'm at least considered middle aged now but this is the best I've felt in months!

Note to self: buying new plants is not always the answer but sometimes it works 🌱🌵💁🏻‍♀️

[Catherine Marie Shelton @CatMarie1995]

@megtbear A balance of resting and reading around your subject - you will be ready to jump straight in when you start, and you won't spend the whole summer you're slacking off, so you'll enjoy your free time more! (Also, find out which coding language is used most in your lab and learn it)

2 years late but graduation here I come! 👩🏻‍🎓

@CelesteKO_O @PhDVoice I did my first park run a few weeks ago, it was great!

[Catherine Marie Shelton @CatMarie1995]

@Kit_Yates_Maths I have just managed to order a kit, so hopefully they have restocked?

@jacasiegel Second year phd student studying cancer prevention, more specifically drug repurposing for mesothelioma prevention. Happy to chat to anyone considering a phd in biology!

However we know from the Intensive Care reports that around 90% of covid patients in #ICU were living wholly independent lives prior to catching #covid.

They weren’t at deaths door before covid. In fact less than 15% of covid patients in ICU have severe comorbidities

@jacasiegel My supervisor once told me something along the lines of: "In academia, everyone is smart. Distinguish yourself by being kind." I was very lucky to have him as a role model.

[The Virus Monologues✊🏾🇵🇸 @virusmonologues]

We have new results on T cell responses to #Omicron, and its good news!
Paper submitted for peer review & preprint:

📢TL;DR: Most of your T cell responses from vaccination or previous infection still recognise Omicron.
#Getvaccinated #GetthoseTcellsnow

[Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social @chrischirp]

The usual people are out there saying all will be fine soon - we just have to let people get infected and it will be done. Just as they did at previous waves.

Mass prior infection have *not* stopped the Omicron wave. Nor has mass vax. Omicron is not last variant. 15/18
