I wrote a short blog post for @UomHive about how wonderful mucus really is. Give it a read to find out why it's important to research.

This weekend I'm marking some incredible science projects for @BigBangUKSTEM.
Young people have incredible amounts of curiosity, and it's so important we reinforce that!

We are a team at the University of Manchester researching what UK undergraduates with ADHD and/or autism would like to see in university staff training on ensuring undergraduate courses are accessible to them.

I'm #PhDone!
It was a wonderful day full of celebration with friends from all different areas of my life. I have been incredibly lucky to be backed by extremely supportive supervisors and the viva was a pleasure.
Pleased to see my @FameLab video from @cheltfestivals is now out!
A lot of nerves, but I'm determined to keep bringing mucus to the masses!

"The process is not meant to be easy. Research rarely is. Like iron forged in fire, ideas are shaped through pressure, heat and time ... The fires of deep work, reading, writing, and thinking are where real progress is made."

And now for the winner of the BSI Research Excellence Award
Our 2025 winner is … Professor Richard Grencis! Congratulations on your achievement.
I'm representing North West at the @FameLab national final 6 June!
I'll be bringing the gross factor to my talk on mucus, alongside nine other amazing speakers covering a wide range of science topics.
So excited to show Cheltenham Science Festival attendees what I'm all about!
I am so pleased to announce I have been shortlisted for the @britsocimm Public Engagement Award!
I've been supporting PE initiatives for the last few years, as well as developing my own (@ResHiveBlog). It's all starting to come together!
I'm now on Instagram! No idea what I'm doing, but hopefully something educational and fun.

Tackling a public speaking fear with a public speaking competition. I am so thrilled and shocked to have won the @FameLab North West final.
Everyone was amazing and I hope you're all proud. Looking forward to learning and improving ahead of the national finals!! @cheltfestivals
