Today in postdoc world - my first lecture! Teaching advanced carbohydrate chemistry to PG students at UoN Chemistry. They’re letting me loose on a whole lecture course and workshops too. #throwback to 2016 and my 1st presentation

We truly have seen everything now.

I love the supervision roles that come with being a #postdoc , we do it as much for the enthusiasm of training the next generation of scientists as anything else. They are also really kind to thank us at the end of their projects! They know me too well 😉😆 #postdoc life #chemistry

10 miles of beautiful White Peak Scenery today with the #Derbyshire Young Walkers 🥾🏔️ Monyash, Arbor Low Stone Circle & The High Peak Trail. The best gelato at Tagg Lane Dairy too 🍦 #PeakDistrict #Hiking #hikingadventures

Cracking open a little bit of Dr J’s #sloegin after a busy day. Billy Joel sounding brilliant on the record deck. #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinylrevival #recordcollection

Some exchange of alcohols today in postdoc world. Some of Dr J’s #sloegin swapped for a sample of whitepeakdistillery’s Up’ards and Down’ards from Dr B. Conveniently labelled in the most scientific way possible 😆 (and before anyone asks, they are NOT sample vials) #postdoclife

In #postdoc world today, quote from RMD: “I’ll run that geometry optimisation on my computer tonight, but I’ll have to wait until my after son stops playing Minecraft” 😆 #chemistry #academia #postdoc life

Another brilliant day of #synthesis and a great opportunity to catch up with many familiar faces from across chemistry!

That was the success story #F1 . Needed today. A great race (despite a miserable day for the Merc boys) and something to smile about! #AustralianGP

More #PeakDistrict adventures with the #Derbyshire Young Walkers again today 🥾🏔️ 9.5 miles in the Dark Peak - Bamford Edge & Win Hill today. Stunning scenery and great company as always. #walking #hiking #hiking adventures

A very spring vibe to today’s #Derbyshire Young Walkers trip into the #PeakDistrict - after the rain had stopped! 7.5 miles of Dark Peak Scenery on Shatton & Abney Moors and some good pub food afterwards. #hiking #hiking adventures #walking

Take a bow Ollie Bearman 👏 👏 brilliant drive under such pressure and he nailed it. Points in the bag and a huge confidence boost going back to F2. #Bearman #OllieBearman #SaudiaArabianGP

Great group to work for - Chris was my (lovely) internal assessor, and we were neighbours with the Willis group. Always got interesting stuff on the go! #postdoc #postdoc position #Chemistry

Haunted trees of Alton Towers Resort fame? 🎃 🌳 ✅
Beautiful #disusedstations ? 🚂 ✅
Bavarian-style castles? 🏰 ✅

Today’s 8 mile hike with the #Derbyshire Young Walkers in the Churnet Valley had it all. Great day and company once again. 🥾🏔️ #hiking #hiking adventures

Neighbours had better watch out for the bass now! New turntable and active speakers came today. Now let’s get spinning some records! 🎶 #vinyl records #vinyl collection #vinyl revival #vinyl

4/4 Sundays in the #PeakDistrict - it’s been a busy February but enjoyed getting the miles in! 🥾🏔️ #walking #hiking #PeakDistrict #Derbyshire #hiking adventures

Another day of White Peak adventures with the #Derbyshire Young Walkers - Thor’s Cave, Ecton Mine & The Manifold Valley. Great company, lovely views and lots of laughs along the way. #PeakDistrict #Derbyshire #Staffordshire #Hiking #hikingadventures #walking

A year on from one of the happiest days of my life so far, pleased to report that PhDuck is still going strong! 🦆 👨‍🎓 #Graduation #Bristol #phdlife

12 miles of misty and muddy White Peak wanderings with Mr Fisher! 🥾🏔️ Exploring the Dove & Manifold valleys & the 11th century Pilsbury Castle 🏰 Return leg from Longnor was seriously squelchy but still good fun. #derbyshire #peakdistrict #hiking #hiking adventures #getoutside
