"My PhD buddy wearing her QUB gear.π" - Jen
Born prematurely at 29 wks, little Charlotte is now 5 mths old. She's proving to be the perfect study buddy as her mum Jen works towards a PhD in Chemical Engineering.
We are loving your style, Charlotte!

Day one.
HIE is brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain. Usually occurs at birth. There is no cure. It can lead to cerebral palsy, learning disabilities and epilepsy among other conditions. #hieawareness#hypoxicischemicencephalopathy
Tomorrow is the first day of HIE awareness month. Until November, I had never heard of HIE, now it is all I think about. Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is when the brain is deprived of oxygen. This is what Charlotte suffered and the reason she has additional needs. #hie
Making the most of that gorgeous weather that lasted 20 minutes. Went for a walk while baby wearing. β€ Thank god I'm a scientist cause I'm certainly not a photographer π

A baby almost died today in ICU. Luckily neonatal staff didn't strike.. imagine if they did. I watched a mother cry. 4 weeks ago I was in that EXACT position. These CHILDREN wouldn't survive if they striked for one day. What will it take for you to notice? #nhs#NHSStrike
4 weeks ago, both my premature baby and I almost died. If it hadn't been for the NHS acting so quickly (some staff had already been working over 12 hours), we would BOTH be dead. They need more staff, and pay on par with the rest of the UK! #SavetheNHS#morestaff#betterpay
Women who earn a PhD while raising children should get a special designation on their diploma! PhD moms you are strong, courageous, and beautiful! .@jenheemstra .@AcademicChatter#PhD#phdtwitter
