My Science Communication Journey

Jul 15, 20201 Comment

I was inspired to write this blog post by the account @MinoritySTEM that was being curated by @Sarah_Cosgriff at the time of the tweet.

Unlike … Continue reading My Science Communication Journey

Stand up for Students

Jan 21, 2019Feb 1, 2019Leave a comment

Being a student obviously has many ups and downs; studying is emotionally and physically draining but meeting new people and learning about something is incredibly rewarding! Why then, in this tumultuous time, are students taken advantage of? I'm referring to that demon that is student housing. As inexperienced renters, I'm amazed at how this lack … Continue reading Stand up for Students

It seems fitting that my 70th post marks a bit of a change on this blog. You may have noticed the change in name and the snazzy new domain name that came with actually paying for my WordPress site!

If you follow any of my social media, you will probably have seen that I met Sir David Attenborough recently!

Becoming Vice Chair

Nov 29, 2018Nov 29, 20181 Comment

I think most of my life I've shyed away from leadership while secretly thinking that I could have done it better! Isn't that something we all do though; being unwilling to take the plunge as a leader but making attempts to take over all the same? There's an initiative that I've seen on social media … Continue reading Becoming Vice Chair

The Feedback Loop

Whenever I receive feedback on my university work, I have mixed emotions. I’m excited about seeing how well I’ve done but nervous about how much I have to fix to make it presentable for submission. My MSc supervisor is amazing; she gets back to me with lightning speed and gives me really thorough feedback and … Continue reading The Feedback Loop

This summer I've been making the transition from being a muddled student at university to being a muddled adult and trying to figure out what happens after I finish my masters! I'm not handing in my project until mid November so I have a bit of time to figure out what interests me most which … Continue reading Sizzling Summer
