I ahave a 1st year PhD student with imposter syndrome. After some minor mistakes, she is calling herself stupid. She thinks she is the only one making these kind of mistakes. Can I get a list of your stupid (read normal) mistakes to share with her? #phdlife #WomenInScience

Congratulations to Leon Maughan who today received an Undergraduate Microbiology Award from @MicrobioSoc. And a rare photo of me in a lab coat pretending I still know my way around a lab! @UCD_SBBS @ucdscience
