On a separate note, Tuesday evening was absolutely unbelievable…
Scotland qualified for their first World Cup in 28 years! (I was a mere toddler last time so have zero memories).
To experience that game in person in my hometown was just out of this world!

Wonderful evening being back @School of Chemistry University of Glasgow for their Chemistry Alumni Panel!
We shared some insights in how our undergraduate degree led us to where we are now in our careers, 7 years on (crazy to acknowledge that!).

I was very fortunate to attend Omar Yaghi’s talk at the University of Birmingham back in April 2024!

Spent an invigorating summer-turn-autumn weekend at Loch Lomond.
A highlight was visiting the Hot Tottie, alternating between the roasting sauna and a dip in the ice-cold loch! 🔥❄️

A few weeks ago we went to the Hokus Pokus Alchemy Lab at Kings Cross and it was amazing! A truly scientific experience in every drink! And the apothecary decor is on point.
Highly recommend 🧪⚗️🔮

Been lacking the festive spirit this year due to circumstances outside of my control, but decided to have a read of this for the first time, and I’m so pleased I did. It truly is a wonderful read.

Volunteered to cook the turkey this year, pretty pleased with how it’s turned out!
(We always cook ours on Christmas Eve to let it rest, minimise risk of undercooking, and alleviate some stress on Christmas Day!)
