@FurnessFlow giving a nice talk today at the @UniofNewcastle #Scientificcorefacilities day all about her work with @ThomasPCurtis @NewcastleFCCF and @NorthumbrianH2O using #flowcytometry to assess drinking water safety

Can’t believe it’s already my last day! Had a great four weeks at Aalborg Uni, thanks for hosting me @MadsAlbertsen85

I have entered the 'word is not responding' stage of writing #thesiswriting

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

@ThomasPCurtis Tapping out on around 900 but I was re-working the introduction so good idea of refs and what I wanted to write :) have a good weekend!

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

Yesterday was more about reading than writing so today I have a lofty lofty goal of 1000 words BUT they don't have to be perfect. This should get my chapter introduction finished. I am 300 in atm, wish me luck! #thesiswriting #happyfriday

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

I feel like my thesis and I are on a rollercoaster together right now. 250 words so far today and a lot to think about #thesiswriting

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

A productive push this afternoon = just over 600 words, of which just under 300 are 'good' and not destined for the cut for clarity chopping board tomorrow. P happy with that and my reward is a spot of rock climbing #thesiswriting

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

Word goal for today is 500 words but I am currently on a lowly 100, I am finding... https://t.co/PhWZCCo20F #thesiswriting

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

(B) goal complete! Today was hard #thesiswriting

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

Thesis goal today was to finish the results section for this chapter + 500 words. I have 150words so far and have a bit of code fiddling to do so I am going to set a B goal of 300 words... #thesiswriting #mondayvibes

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

Tapping out for the day - hit just under 200 words for the afternoon, completed the stats for two similar datasets, and started work on a new section of results. A good day! #thesiswriting

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

OK welcome back for day 2 of me telling the world what I'm up to to motivate me to hit my goals! #thesiswriting

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

OK I evidently didn't have enough ambition as I have already hit my word goal! This afternoon I will try for another 200 words + carrying out some stats for another very similar dataset. Going out for a run now! #thesiswriting

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

Day one back on the thesis. Word goal = 500 words. Currently 6 pomodoros completed but net 0 words - lots of editing out trash so far #thesiswriting

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

Wow!!

@LPMKremer Hi Lukas, love your package! I am using it to plot up my flow cytometry data. I was wondering if there is an option to set the n_neighbours the same instead of automatic scale? Thank you!

[Lindsey Furness @FurnessFlow]

I had such a good time at @mmeg2021, thanks so much to the organisers! Such a friendly, well-organised conference. I was very nervous about speaking, but in the end it was great to be able to share my research and I was really happy so many people came to talk to me afterwards!
