The last of my PhD papers @DurhamChemistry is out!

It's an end of an era, but my time @OxfordChemistry has been another amazing adventure so far. From polyene natural products to phenotypic medicinal chemistry!

This is simply the best and a remarkable graphic illustration on how areas of medical research change over the past 70 years.
Heading the current top positions are #obesity and #Cancer - important #immunometabolic disorders.
I'm so excited to make the front cover of a journal, and for it to be such an important piece of research for me. Warning: cheesy palladacycle and yellow bacterium road within @OrgBiomolChem@RoySocChem@DurhamChemistry https://t.co/mHbyW4jEKq
Wonderfully articulated and excellently illustrated. Take home message, take people as you find them and get to know THEM, not who you perceive them to be.
Starting to move into the chemical biology space! It's very empowering when chemistry is directly applied to biological systems! @RealTimeChem#onestepcloser
Really proud of this work, it's the culmination of my PhD. All that time doing chemistry in the dark feels worth it @dch0aw @DurhamChemistry@OrgBiomolChem
It has just started to sink in that I'm going to be a panelist at the Joliot-Curie Conference this year <3 I can't wait to give back at a conference that has been such a gamechanger for me :D @RoySocChem https://t.co/AyeERRmzHz #RSCDiversity@OxfordChemistry
This came out around a month ago, with more detail being recently added. Amazing. Imagine if we could tune the immune system to a) stop this before it gets started (e.g. vaccines) and b) adopt the right state for healing in the brain if it already has...

Editorial: Just ten years ago, the idea that microorganisms in the human gut could influence the brain was often dismissed as wild. Not any more. https://t.co/XCrHLdZuLf
Literally so happy at the moment learning new skills and trying to contribute to @AJR_group and @OxStem in a new way. Thank you for creating an environment where something like this is possible. I will work my socks off to make it worthwhile #interdisciplinary#careergoals
Lately I've been learning about tissue culture and testing compounds for biological activity. It's really empowering to understand a little about what our colleagues in other disciplines do. So far I have learned that cell biologists are basically wizards @OxStem#Ilovemyjob
Sometimes I like to go back to the start and learn about something all over again, especially when developing new projects.
So today

Things of note:
1) Spectroscopy has come on a crazy amount since I did my GCSEs
2) The immune system really is so cool!
Can't wait to read this! Looking at the metabolites an immune cell makes I think is an excellent way to get a feel for what it's trying to do in the body. Plus it means you can use mass spec! #chemisttryingtobeabiologist#interdisciplinary#immunometabolism
A guide to immunometabolism for immunologists. Another of the all-time great immunometabolism reviews - especially for beginners in the field @NatRevImmunol#immunometabolism https://t.co/0VwFdgNEzy
One of the biggest things I've learned is that a few words of encouragement can change someone's future completely. Two interactions in 2016 gave me the courage to chase my dreams, one with @sirfrasersays and one with Prof. Tom Walton @impchemistry.
