I recently wrote a blog for the Society for Applied Microbiology because I wanted to share one of the reasons why microbiology issues cause confusion among much of the UK population. It's also why we should have more patience with people who get it wrong! You can find the article here: Microbiology Education: Why doesn't … Continue reading Microbiology Education: Why doesn’t everyone know that?
This is a rather spontaneous blog post but I've just been inspired by a post penned by the brilliant Soph Arthur. In the post Soph talks about receiving a special oversized parcel and I was feeling a child like excitement as I watched her unpack it on her Instagram story. Inside were some very special … Continue reading Barbie, Coding and my Would-Like-To-Do List
I have never discussed feminism on my blog before because that’s not what this blog is really about and I’ve been worried about the backlash from any opinions that I hold about it. So, before I start this post I want to say that you are welcome to audibly disagree with me and comment on … Continue reading Feminism
Last week I started collecting data for my project. This was unlike any data collection I have ever done before; no longer am I counting colonies on a plate or counting how many antibiotics my E. coli isolates are resistant to and PCR seems like a distant memory! In Science Communication research, it seems that … Continue reading In the Name of Research
It’s been super busy recently and I’m quite sad that this has taken its toll on writing blog posts. I’ve frequently felt inklings of creativity bubbling up in the evenings but everything that I’m doing is simultaneously energising and draining me! Volunteering, studying, continuing my roles in UWE’s Women in Science and Engineering society and … Continue reading Making a List and Checking it Twice
I’ve been incredibly lucky with this course and it seems like it’s the gift that keeps on giving! In this recent teaching block, we got to visit the studios at BBC Bristol and experience what it’s like to record and be recorded! Before I went, I was convinced that I wouldn't volunteer to be recorded … Continue reading Loose in BBC Bristol
In preparation for starting my masters I’ve been doing some extra reading which means I’ve actually had to get books out of the library. I feel like I’m getting super ready to start postgraduate study! One book that I’ve taken out, Communicating Science to the Public, is a collection of journal papers about science communication … Continue reading Shot to the Heart
Despite having resigned myself to a summer off I’ve realised how neglectful I’ve become of certain activities that used to be part of my daily life at uni. Twitter is the main one and I think it’s been at least 2 months since I even opened the app other than to see whose followed me. … Continue reading The Back Burner
The muddled student returns with a vengeance. By this I mean that I’m encountering a whole host of new things to be confused about what with being on the edge of starting a Masters and all. I’ve even had a dream about starting my masters; for some reason, my new halls resembled a gothic manor … Continue reading Confusion Strikes Again
Have I mentioned that I finished my degree? No? Well now you know! I’m free until September when I continue my student journey and become a Masters student! Finishing third year wasn’t like finishing my other years though; instead of having that final exam and grinning my way through the last 5 minutes of the … Continue reading The End of an Era
