Ordered Covid Lateral Flow Test kits and were delivered within 24 hours! Good idea to test regularly now that restrictions are easing (especially as I am in labs off campus and working a part time job, or even just to safely meet up with friends!). gov.uk/order-coronavi…

Registering for the World Microbe Forum but doesn’t give me the Student/Member option even though I am a member of Microbiology Society 😥 Anyone else having the same problem? FEMS ASM

Still processing the fact that I had my first year major review and received sudden news about the dismissal of my primary supervisor all in the space of a week 😔

Looking forward to my first #IASUK live chat this morning in the #CleanWorldZone 🌍 I wonder what questions will get thrown at me!

I don’t think I have ever typed so quickly in my life! Just had another great #IASUK live chat in the #CleanWorldZone it’s lovely to see students so interested in ways to prevent climate change 🌎🔬🧫 I'm a Scientist Team

This was a lovely session! Students were so engaging which made it fun answering all their great questions 🔬🧫🌍 #CleanWorldZone

I had a great month talking about science, life as a scientist and things we can do to help our planet! Thank you to I'm a Scientist Team for organising this and I hope I have inspired some scientists of our future! 🔬🧫🌍

Microbes are one of the most powerful tools for tackling sustainability and the climate crisis. Check out how we at The Wallace Lab and SamNCIMB are teaming up to screen diverse and uncharacterised NCIMB Ltd microbes in the search of novel green chemistries! #Microbiology

After 6 months of stress not knowing where my PhD was going, I’ll be starting over again with a completely new project and new supervisor… nervous to say the least but relieved

Got this in my mail box, thank you I'm a Scientist Team and everyone who took part in the #CleanWorldZone now I finally have my own office mug for my (multiple) afternoon tea breaks 🍵

Attended the Heriot-Watt University Women in Stem Social last night. It was inspiring to meet women in academia from all levels come together to represent #WomenInSTEM. We also got a mini tour of the @NRobotarium and met ‘Martina’ the robot 🦾🦿

Very excited to share my latest (and first!🥳) paper! From Wastewater Treatment Plants to the Oceans: A Review on Synthetic Chemical Surfactants (SCSs) and Perspectives on Marine-Safe Biosurfactants mdpi.com/2401718 #mdpisustainability via Sustainability MDPI 🧪

Super excited to return to Newcastle next month to show some of my work from the last year! Microbes are incredible chemists and working to interface NCIMB Ltd bacteria into sustainable chemical processes has been a blast! Hope to see some familiar faces 🧫🧪 The Wallace Lab

Excited to be back at my undergrad uni to talk about my PhD work, of course with Connor Trotter since we are joined at the hip! I’ll be talking about how I am optimising rhamnolipid production from marine bacteria 🧪🧼 Looking forward to seeing new and old faces!

It’s been an exciting few days attending the Microbiolgy Society Conference! 🧫🦠 From bacterial taxonomy to applied microbiology, microbes never fail to fascinate me. It was great connecting with new people and seeing MCarmen Montero-Calasanz! Microbiology Society #Microbio24
