Writing my clinical scientist registration portfolio is nearly as painful as writing the PhD thesis 😵‍💫

I finished a ten-week beginner ballet class last week, and it was the most joyous gift I've ever given myself 💗

Sneak peek at my #ECCMID2024 poster on Scottish Staph pseudintermedius isolates (I love a zoonosis!!) and my hilarious illustrations (why does my otter look so suspicious??)

Sad to not be at ECCMID #ECCMID2024 in person, but please come chat to me about my e-poster on the online platform if you're interested in zoonosis, AMR and validation of a new cgMLST for Staph pseudintermedius! ☺️

Capricorn: Things are looking up! Terrible, faceless things, wandering the streets speaking languages not heard on earth since before we invented farming. Looking up, always, at something we can't see.
