A brand new blog post this time about Lucy Wills!

Wills was a haematologist in the early 20th Century. Her research greatly improved our understanding of anaemias of pregnancy as a result of her discovery of ‘Wills Factor’ or folic acid 🤰💉

Last year for #AdaLovelaceDay I wrote all about this amazing woman and also about an encounter I had with a 12 year old girl who already knew about and looked up to this #WomanInStem - check it out! 👇🏼

@LancsNW @Girlguiding_NWE Thank you! I really want to read her thesis - I think a trip to John Rylands library is needed

The #ActionForChange training weekend inspired me so much I’ve found the time to finally write a new blog post!

This one is all about Catherine Chisholm - @OfficialUoM first female medical graduate & founder of Manchester Babies Hospital. Enjoy & share!

This weeks’ practicals have entailed studying lung function using a spirometer, investigating the widespread effects of salbutamol on the autonomic nervous system and ~electrocuting~ my lab partner to work out the conduction velocity of the ulnar nerve! 👩‍🔬💊⚡️
