Last night I press-ganged a mass spec engineer at a live music night, just to interview the heck out of him for copywriting purposes.

This is the monster that content marketing for #biotech has turned me into 🤠

Would love to add that as a disabled person there have been so many times I’ve questioned my chance of a career

I feel so privileged to work, and to love what I do every day

Bipolar disorder does not have to mean the end of a career in STEM. Far from it
