Happy 2025! 🎉 As a New Year exercise, I’ve reflected on my #PhD journey. This blog offers a year-by-year breakdown of my progress as I approach the final chapter (pun intended). dinathebiologist.com/post/reflectin…

I keep getting distracted daydreaming about my alternate life if I weren't doing a #PhD in science—definitely a symptom of the final-year blues! I'm thriving as a West End dancer or a bestselling fiction author. What's your alternate career if #science hadn't been victorious?

Spent the start of the week at a JNCC marine eDNA workshop, discussing how to advance the technique in UK marine monitoring 🧬 Amazing to be in the same room as so many skilled and experienced people!

A surreal experience standing at the Royal Society podium to share my PhD research at the UK DNA Working Group Conference. Grateful for the opportunity to present my work on eDNA for coastal monitoring and to connect with such a brilliant community of researchers 🧬

As we seem to, yet again, be talking about the hot UK summer of 1976, a reminder that the UK is not the world. Yes, it was hot that summer over our small region, but the bigger picture tells a different story. And, we've had hotter UK summers since.

ITRS 2025 ✅ 🌊 This week has been one of the best of my entire PhD. I met so many fantastic scientists doing meaningful work—and managed some well-needed exploring after sitting at a desk for so long. All my academic role models in one room? Amazing. #ITRS2025 #ITRS25
