@roxannamunir This sounds like me! Can I DM you?

My supervisor just gave me permission to use "outwith" in my thesis, I wonder if I can get it past the examiners...

Just finished up at my first online conference, felt very weird attending from my couch in my wee flat but the talks and posters were excellent. Well done to everyone involved, especially the organisers for making it happen! #HMIHD20

If you work in public health or epidemiology you need to know history of race science in this field. Galton - “father of statistics” - was also a eugenicist.

This ebook is free this week so download if you haven’t read it and/ or share this info if you have.

ALSO. IF YOU SEE ASIANS WEARING FACE MASKS, IT MAY NOT MEAN THEY'RE SICK. IT IS A CONSCIENTIOUS CULTURE. WE WEAR IT AS A PREVENTATIVE FOR OURSELVES TO LIMIT GETTING OR SPREADING ILLNESS. WE DON'T START WEARING NOT AFTER THE FACT. SO DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE WHEN YOU SEE US WEAR IT.😠

Clearly super happy to be presenting my work! Thank you again to the #HMIHD19 organisers for the opportunity!

[Amy @microAmy]

Thank you to the #HMIHD19 organisers for awarding me this bursary which allowed me to attend and present my research to a great audience. Thank you also for the accessibility provisions!

@imogenrena I'll do your cloning if you come do my qPCR.

Smol Pol has left the building

[Amy @microAmy]

Not so Smol Pol won't be in the nest much longer by the looks of things!

Trying to balance staying in the lab all day where it's cool and avoiding a flare up caused by being in the lab all day.

Baby pigeon update:

[Amy @microAmy]

Spent Friday afternoon working on a little science craft project, faecal sample kits ready to go out to study participants!

[Amy @microAmy]

Wholesome discovery of the week, a pigeon is nesting outside of my lab!

[Amy @microAmy]

@BodenLab @dutchscientist Thank you very much for chatting with me today! Everyone was very helpful. I might drop you an email to ask some more about funding and stuff if that's alright

[Amy @microAmy]

Had the intention of getting back on Twitter for the #FEMS2019 conference, I didn't but I did get the opportunity to share my research in front of a massive audience and talk about the difficulties faced by disabled PhD students, a pretty rewarding experience all round!
