For those who’ve been wondering where I am and what I’m doing with myself, we published a summary of the kind of work our lab does here 😉:

After a long break from the more professional side of Twitter, coming back with awesome news: I was successful in applying for a FNRS fellowship with the @nBIO_lab! Viruses, polymers, cancer cells, microscopes, fluorophores; very excited to get to work on this project!

The human cell seen in highest resolution for the first time.

The universe seen in the highest resolution for the first time.

You and I are at the precise precious epoch where we can see both.

These just may be the most important and empowering images of humanity

Our magic.

Ok but did you know you can press ctrl+s while in ppt presentation mode and you can easily navigate to other slides in your presentation? No more awkward scrolling during question time!

Well-done @melli_koehler! Great poster presentation at the @ebsa_in. A lot of people asking questions, nice feedbacks! So a good feeling to attend again an on-site conference!

For #InternationalNonbinaryDay, let's start a thread of non-binary scientists to follow!

Introduce yourself, then nominate someone

Hi! I'm a non-binary biomineralogist, geochemist, and writer. Let’s talk biominerals!

Thank you @BertCavanagh for inviting me to talk to the group of @cameron_alexndr; it was nice to revisit polymers, nanomedicine, and the bio-nano interface. I will have to come visit once things are more open! I look forward to talking fluorophores with people in the meantime!

[Thurecht Group @ThurechtGroup]

Congratulations @Jessica_A_Mills for taking out the Best Oral Presentation prize at @Au_Soc_Mol_Imag conference 2021! Great #nanomedicine #science presented outstandingly!

Niche, but an amazing joke.

[Joshua @JoshuaD_Simpson]

@CorrieJN Very much so; I love what I do. The getting here was rough, but ultimately I get to do things that I care about/am interested in, which works well for my neurodivergent brain. Most days I go to work excited for the day. As far as I know this is rarer outside of academia.
