Thanks so much Sophia for your insightful discussion and thank you to @LG150591 for the invitation to speak at @SwanseaUni! My first trip to Wales but surely not my last!
One of the most fascinating talks on a personal and professional capacity from @AJ_Twigger this afternoon about lactation physiology and normal and abnormal mammary gland cell development. Thank you @LG150591 for inviting her to do a talk @SwanseaUni !

Fabulous kick off to #BHMSRC with talks by Fadil Hannan (lactation hormones), @JMartinCarli (MFGs), Rose Doerfler (milk cell fate) and @LAnnepureddy (milk cell signalling) from @GoodsBrittany lab. Amazing science + beach is my fav combo! 🔬🌊♥️

I completely agree! It’s not an easy job but it is so rewarding ♥️
Long story short, i am doing exactly what i always wanted 💜, but many science difficulties (funding/job security) make me think otherwise sometimes! Would also love to hear others thoughts! @avid_podcast

What a legend! We’ll miss this hard working protein expert! Keep up that passion for #FCgammareceptors, patience and perseverance. Best of luck mate. They are lucky to have you!
What a 5 years it’s been at @WTKlab. This was my first postdoc and during my time here I got married, had a child, COVID happened, and I met too many wonderful people to count. I will always remember this as a very special place and time, but it’s now time to continue my journey.

Congrats to the team on this huge effort! Such important data to share with the world. I have no doubt this reference will help us learn more about #mammaryglandbiology, #lactation and #breastcancer @humancellatlas
I am very pleased to share our second and largest contribution to “The Human Breast Cell Atlas” (HBCA) project. Buckle up a longish thread ahead! https://t.co/hEmnIJKNsr

Hoping to help out a fantastic fellow researcher gather data around women's health. If you are willing please answer the linked poll about monitoring menstrual and uterine health 🫶♥️
Do you wish you could continually monitor your uterine health? I am helping to scope a women's health monitoring research project! Input from possible users would be incredibly valuable to us. Please fill out this anonymous survey, thank you!
