I joined @jollylab.bsky.social at UCL as a postdoc this week! Still getting used to being in central London but I won’t complain about having pubs/restaurants only a few minutes away.

Thank you Dr. Marjolein Kikkert for inviting me to present at their virology lab meeting in-person at @UniLeiden today! Great way to wrap up my Edinburgh-Leiden jointly funded PhD. 📷: “The One Who Waits” in the LUMC hospital lobby.

Lunchtime break from thesis writing. My toggl tracker says I’ve already spent 150 hours on it 😳 ✨Featuring very cute Lumie socks from @promega - thanks @MichaelaNoskov5 @promegauk !

Me & @oceanchau left Edinburgh >24h ago to travel to #ASV2024. After a missed connection, 3 flight cancellations, 10h at the airport and 2h running around for a hotel room…we are still in NYC without our bags. I hope we make it there for our talks😭 @AmerSocVirol
