💥ONE YEAR OF THE SCOUSE SCIENTIST💥 1) One year ago today I finally plucked up the courage to pursue my dreams and started up “The Scouse Scientist” with the following aims:

Today I did my first ever TEDx Talk in full Scouse glam mode to smash the stereotypes associated with careers in science and educate about how genomics is saving patient lives in the NHS @TEDTalks @TEDx @TEDxTeessideUni #scientistscanwearpink #TED #TEDx #TedXTeesside

In Manchester for the FameLab Final Wish me luck! #FameLab #scicomm @LivUniEngageHLS @EngageSalford

Great chatting to @AdamRutherford at @FoGenomics hoping I can educate & inspire the next generation of scientists in #genomics with my videos & social media pages. You don’t need to look or talk a certain way to be a scientist! https://t.co/rPXejQhIAq #breakingbarriers

My first #gaudy dinner at @UniofOxford 10 yrs since I graduated 🫣 if you’re considering applying but put off cos you’re not posh / rich / privately educated - none of that matters. There’s a place for you ❤️ @sjc_access #ThisGirlCan #OxfordUni #BreakingStereotypes

I am hosting a Virtual Lab #OpenDay in Jan. Sign up to find out more about what we do in #genomics in the #NHS @genomicsedu @NSHCS @NHSNW @GenomicsEngland @NEYGenomics

Stereotypical images of scientists make it impossible for young people to relate to & create barriers to pursuing a career in this field. Most of us don’t look like this 😂🙈 Be yourself! And you can achieve anything you put your mind to! #womeninscience #breakingstereotypes

In 2010, 70% of you were satisfied with the NHS. Now, only 24% are. 14 years of Tory government understaffing, underfunding & private sector outsourcing have trashed the NHS into a travesty of the service we want to give you. It is heartbreaking & so disgustingly wrong 😔

PS we’re not all posh men with crazy hair you know 👀 #thisgirlcan #womeninscience

Visited @AlderHey for #HealthcareScienceWeek How can young people aspire to become #Scientists in the #NHS if they don’t even know that job exists?! Help me spread the word about #HealthcareScientists cos I’m a great believe of “If you can see it, you can be it!”

On my way home from Bristol after attending the @NSHCS Collaborative Meeting today. Great to meet many more #HealthcareScientists & discuss our plans for Education & Training to support our growing workforce. If I met you today please say hello 👋
