i’m swooning

[Dr Abi Talbot @intheLABI]

biological research largely backs up so called “wokeness”…. remember facts don’t care about your feelings @conservatives

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

NEW: Conservatives are safeguarding scientific research from the denial of biology and the steady creep of political correctness.

@michelledonelan announces plans to depoliticise science at #CPC23

although i didn’t go through clearing, lots of people i know did. I can personally recommend @AberUni and @SussexUni for their life sciences degrees

[Dr Abi Talbot @intheLABI]

i didn’t get fantastic A Levels- BCD which felt like the end of the world at the time. here i am 7 years later going into the final year of my PhD. A levels aren’t the be all and end all of academia, a degree is a degree and can be used to springboard to bigger oppurtunities

my job….is just pipette

[Dr Abi Talbot @intheLABI]

today i discovered the only way to get an experiment to work is to dress like it so it knows you are the alpha and it will behave

[Dr Abi Talbot @intheLABI]

it’s my first ever phd friend @AstroChemily ‘s viva today!! good luck, remember ice is cold water 🔭☄️🛰️

[Dr Abi Talbot @intheLABI]

had a fantastic first day at #socobio23, presented a poster and chaired my first conference session (thanks @BridgeKatherine for being so fantastic!!) now on to a well deserved pizza with the rest of the gang!

[Dr Abi Talbot @intheLABI]

instructions unclear, got too excited about science and now i’m 3 years into a phd

[Dr Abi Talbot @intheLABI]

Not scientific, but I recently started a substack so I could talk about the thoughts that are all rattling around my brain, would be great if you could check it out or even subscribe! https://t.co/s5solP0soh
