Yay! I’m going to Bioscience Workshop in October organised by Sygnature Discovery 🥳

Found out that students that I’ve been supervising for their dissertation got 84 and 72 out of 100 for their practical project! I am very happy and proud, it was a real pleasure working with them 😊

Made a video with Irina Pokhilenko (PostDoc in Economic at the Uni of Birmingham) about making a CV for PhD and PostDoc positions, hope you’ll find it useful :) youtu.be/XGMux7cNKkc
