So pleased I chose to undertake my 3 month professional internship @Labskin and @skintrustclub as part of my @BBSRCWhiteRose PhD - 3 weeks in and I have already learnt so much working in marketing and science communication. Check out my first blog post below! #scicomm

Brazilian frogs which have evolved to be very tiny, have inner ear canals too small to help them balance well: this is why they are clumsy jumpers

Had a fantastic time organising 'Zombies in York' as part of @YorkFestofIdeas with @AndersonOrlagh! So great to be able to start running this exciting event again where children get to investigate disease spread of a fictional zombie epidemic to save York! 🔬🫁🧟‍♂️#scicomm

I remember breaking down to my Ph.D. advisor about how stupid I felt while troubleshooting a problem in my project when she handed me this paper. Years later it is still relevant to young students starting off in Science. It's ok to feel stupid, we all do on a regular basis.

New paper from the lab!
We developed a novel human organoid that periodically forms somite-like structures. The spheroid of human iPS cells elongates and starts forming pairs of somites according to the segmentation clock.
