Had a great visit to KCL for my second Euro-BioImaging Node interview — and really nice to meet Andreas! The MIC renovation looks fantastic. Hope the interview shines a bit more light on all the brilliant technical work happening across the Nodes!

Microscopy most especially. To be the first human to ever lay eyes on something. What a feeling.

Really just had something like this feeling this afternoon. It’s the high that keeps you coming back for more
