Join me and the other wonderful panellists for a discussion on Instagram live tomorrow at 12:30pm GMT! Head over to @cambridgephysics to celebrate International Women's Day! 👩‍🔬 #WomeninScience #WomensDay

[Cavendish Laboratory @DeptofPhysics]

On 8th March we will talk to few of our current researchers on the topic - Celebrating the scientific achievements of Cavendish Women. Tune in @cambridgephysics on Instagram to be part of this live discussion at 12:30pm on Wednesday 8 March. #IWD2023

@jenhung97 @ourANU @thesiswhisperer @JulesieJet @ANUresearcher @annie_evans_11 @cosmicpinot @joshchutan @MartinAnne139 @c_s_wallace Congratulations!! I stumbled upon the youtube live link just in time to see yours!! 🥳🤩👏

[Marika N @_marika_n]

Also I’ll be presenting tomorrow at 11:20 am in the New Techniques session! Very excited to share my research 🤓

Day 2 of International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy (#ICORS2022) is already over! It’s been an insightful 2 days so far and have already met so many researchers from around the world!! 🤩🧑‍🔬👨‍🔬super grateful I can attend an in person conference! 🥳 #phdlife

[Marika N @_marika_n]

I'm off to a conference in just over a weeks time (#ICORS2022) 🌎! Super excited but thought I'd turn to the Twitter-verse to ask - what advice would you give to a PhD student attending an international conference? #phdchat @OpenAcademics #AcademicTwitter 👩‍🔬

[Prof Jodie Bradby @JodieBradby]

Can’t unsee this..

[Marika N @_marika_n]

Am very excited to present at the @Gates_Cambridge Teach-a-Thon this Thursday! https://t.co/TCDFr1iJtZ #WomenInSTEM #outreach

Last Tuesday, I went to Oxford for the first time on a trip to my sister college - @SomervilleOx . Never thought I'd end up coincidentally meeting @siobhan_tobin! 👩‍🔬🤩 sometimes the world can feel like a very small place!

[Siobhan Tobin @siobhan_tobin]

Delighted to meet @_marika_n at long last at a ‘sister college’ dinner between @SomervilleOx (my Oxford college) and @GirtonCollege (Marika’s Cambridge college). Little @PhysicsANU reunion right here - Marika class of ‘19, I’m class of ‘16. 🇦🇺 @Gates_Cambridge @rhodes_trust

[Prof Jodie Bradby @JodieBradby]

Restocked the toilets with pads and tampons for physics students near the physics studio/drop in @PhysicsANU @ourANU 👍

[Marika N @_marika_n]

So proud to be part of a college that was founded for women and the pathway it has led for women and beyond over the years. Happy International Women's Day! #IWD2022 #IWD #WomenInSTEM 🎉

[Girton College, Cambridge University @GirtonCollege]

🎉 Today we are celebrating International Women’s Day!

Girton’s community of postgraduates includes many amazing women forging change and innovation in a wide range of fields.

Here are just a few examples of our wonderful PhD students work: https://t.co/vMO4uHf1B6

My commitment to refuse invitations to academic conferences with all-male lineup is in its 6th year. I stick to this (& I did upset a few), but I encourage other scientists to join. The fight for equality is far from over.

Was a little scary filming my first ever sit-down video, but here it is! Hopefully these advice for first years can be useful to someone out there 👩‍🔬😊 #PhDStudent #AcademicChatter #WomenInScience #AcademicTwitter #phdchat

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

On 28 February 1928, Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman discovered the Raman effect. The Raman effect is the change in the wavelength of light that occurs when a light beam is deflected by molecules.

Today marks the landmark of my first in-person group meeting since starting my PhD. It only took 17 months but I guess thats the #covidcohort experience 🙃

[Cavendish Laboratory @DeptofPhysics]

Friday 11 February marks the @UN’s International Day of #WomenInScience and we will be celebrating by sharing some inspiring stories of #WomenInPhysics. And for those in West Cambridge, @CavendishIW is hosting a BYO lunch at the @Maxwell_Centre from 12.30pm. Join us there!

[Marika N @_marika_n]

So excited for our first in person event for the year!

[Cambridge University Women in Physics Society @CU_WPS]

Happy to present the first tea/coffee social of the term! 🍵☕️🍪

Feb 3, Thursday at 2pm @Maxwell_Centre 3rd floor lounge.

Open to all.

[Marika N @_marika_n]

I can't complain as others have had it worse but it's crazy how our perspectives have shifted so much, and how we have different sources of stress now 😅

Also hello! I'm back on twitter again and hope to keep it that way for 2022 😊

[Marika N @_marika_n]

I've been so fortunate to be able to spend some time with my family after two years long wait. But now that I'm getting ready to go back home to Cambridge, I can't help but anxiously think to myself, when will I be able to see them again next??
