Some great job opportunities here, working with a great PI 🙂

There are a few welcoming signs ahead of tonight’s planned protest in Castle Park

Quite exciting to see results come out from this huge study. Such an important finding too. It would appear it's not all about the money...

My first daughter Tilly would have turned 14 today. She was only with us for 5 months. Every year on this day we make a cake and light her candle. She will always be part of our family.

This is my life at the moment!
