- Back in my favourite place watching my babies build a stick house and run around the forest. While their Grandpop snoozes in a camping chair. Family therapy we needed 💕 #newforest #holiday #grandparenttime
- Placenta cupcakes 💕 how cute are these? Only way to send one of our postdocs off on maternity leave @mfh-research.bsky.social #placenta #matleave
- Excellent progress for PCOS. My experience in the UK is while you receive fertility treatment for PCOS, after this you fall off the radar and your GP isn't even aware of diagnosis. I had to tell my GP and ask for treatment (which I only knew about because of my research field) we need to do better!
- When your respiratory PhD student manages to include the word 'placenta' in her thesis 💜 #sheknowshowtomakemehappy #academicsky
- Today is 6 months since I became a PI/lecturer at @mfh-research.bsky.social in @uniofmanchester.bsky.social. Not sure how that's possible, but here's a few things I've learned since I started. 1) Getting started takes longer then you think - re-setting up exp/protocols somewhere new is hard 1/
