On Thursday I was able to finally wear my graduation gown for my PhD. It was really nice to graduate with fellow @UoM_MRC_DTP people and I got to see @cabradybio too (photo borrowed from Chloe). @FBMH_UoM @MFH_Research

Can't believe I got the Pathways to Impact award to fund my own research project following completion of my PhD!!!
Thank you for the amazing opportunity!

@MarkDilworth @tommys Congratulations 🎉

[Dr Meg Sharps @Meg_Sharps]

Our review looking at the effect of COVID-19 on the placenta is now published! 🎉 More research is needed!

[Alexander Heazell @MCR_SB_Research]

A structured review of placental morphology and histopathological lesions in COVID-19 https://t.co/opc5DZRyGQ suggests no clear relationship between SARD-CoV-2 infection and placental pathology. More high-quality studies needed. @DexterHasNoLab @Meg_Sharps @MFH_Research

[Alexander Heazell @MCR_SB_Research]

My esteemed colleagues @DrEdJohnstone and Jenny Myers have talked me into having my hair shaved for @Tommys_baby. Please can you donate to this amazing charit who inspires me in my work to help parents and to reduce #stillbirth? https://t.co/V48ThcJgC6
