Absolutely gassed to have run a sub - 4 (3:59:44 lol) at the Steyning Stinger this weekend. It’s a brutal course; 900m elevation + tough terrain (course record is 3:25) and I had a much less than ideal prep. Excited to see what I can do on the road later this year✌🏻

The UKRI PhD stipend will increase by 2.9% for next year. When compared to inflation which is already at 6.2% and set to hit 8% by June, this amounts to a real terms pay cut for PhD students of about £1200. This is completely inexcusable in the middle of a cost of living crisis.

got my first journal reject today, does that make me a real scientist?

the reasoning behing all of my tattoos

it’s proper one leg out the duvet weather tonight

From 1pm to 4pm on Tuesday 31 May, WEISS opens its doors to the public for The Science of Surgery. This is a chance for anyone interested in, or wanting to learn about, science and medicine to come and find out more at a fun and friendly event. ucl.ac.uk/interventional…

it is insane and wrong that ireland is not dark blue

400km of running in 30 hours with the best crew. Poland/Germany border ➡️ Hel peninsula. One of the more insane things I’ve done, can’t wait for next year. #BorderToHel

prepping for my PhD upgrade viva tomorrow
