@DrHelenOram @RCPath Let me see what I can do. Nice microscope.

[Claire Bowen @claire_paedpath]

@TristanRutland7 Indeed - CD56 is positive in many paediatric tumours.

@DrKidneyAsh I always take my blanket 🙈

[Claire Bowen @claire_paedpath]

@DrKidneyAsh @BWC_NHS Oh no, where are you going to?

[Claire Bowen @claire_paedpath]

@DrKidneyAsh @RibbleCycles Also congratulations on the CCT 🎉

[Claire Bowen @claire_paedpath]

@DrKidneyAsh @RibbleCycles Oooooooooh niiiiiiiice. I'm jealous.

[Claire Bowen @claire_paedpath]

@drtimothyli I should, but I'm a pathologist and it's not in pink and purple...

[Claire Bowen @claire_paedpath]

@KindlyLoudly @CCLG_UK Sorry I didn't get chance to say hi. I rarely get to meet families. Your talk hit home with wanting to protect your children from everything. It's a reminder why I do what I do x

@EllieW_CCLG @KindlyLoudly @maxj_p @MadDandapani @andiroy Really interesting day. Thank you for having me 😊

In totally insane news, I'm officially a triathlete 😁

@BarelyMDMc @leon_metlay @CCLG_UK It's carrot, it started orange. Not sure about the science behind the reaction carotene has during tissue processing. The lime went yellow.

A sneak peak at my talk for next week for the @CCLG_UK #CCAM on #childhoodcancer. I'll be talking about what a pathologist does and what happens in a laboratory.

Can you guess what fruit and vegetables I've used to demonstrate the laboratory process?

[Claire Bowen @claire_paedpath]

Top L-R: Strawberry, spring onion, carrot
Bottom L-R: Lime, tomato, cucumber

I'm not sure why the colour from the carrot and lime changed so much while others didn't. Interesting 🤔

[Claire Bowen @claire_paedpath]

@BarelyMDMc @leon_metlay @CCLG_UK Closest!

Remembering 9/11. 22 years on and it still doesn't feel real. 22 years living with PTSD. I was 22 at the time. That's now half my life with PTSD.

@KindlyLoudly @CCLG_UK @andiroy @LJRussell_Lab @MadDandapani You'll be great. Ask to follow my talk, then once I've stopped using vegetables to explain what a pathologist does, you'll look even better 😊

[Claire Bowen @claire_paedpath]

@hookliz I wasn't sure - I can't do either 🙈

[Claire Bowen @claire_paedpath]

I got given a knitted ganglion cell - a perfect gift for a Paediatric Pathologist 😊

And yes, that is a plastic eyeball on my desk... Don't ask 🤣
