It's 3am and I'm still up - getting bitten by ants that somehow have gotten up to my upper bunk bed

1 month spent in Jakarta and I noticed that most people wear a mask (some FFP2) everywhere they go to, especially indoor spaces. It's like a slap of reality to me (I admit, I had been lenient with my mask wearing in the UK). Will carry over this strict mask-wearing behaviour.

If I can get £1 every time I get asked 'why don't you become a medical doctor instead', I'd already be close to a millionaire

The fact that the NHS Scotland's vaccination record saved my inter-city journey in Indonesia coz the local vaccination record app is down 🤳🤳

Had a wonderful Christmas lunch with people from the lab! The Reece Lab

Very pretty cryostat slice - H&E stained - of mouse spleen! (The only thing is that ALL RBCs somehow disappeared from the slice)

Everytime I pass by a specific corridor in my building, I get greeted by the smell of agar and I genuinely love it (it rouses my appetite???) Wonder why
