Celebrated a viva in our group a few weeks back and was unimpressed with the selection (price) of cakes in Cambridge… so did it myself! Chocolate fudge cake, chocolate buttercream and ganache, plus fresh fruit and freeze dried raspberries to make it vaguely “healthier” 🍓🍫🎂

Yesterday I had the absolute JOY of meeting Thor and his owner Sophie from @PetsAsTherapyUK - it’s so lovely that volunteers want to share their pets and make people smile! Thank you for letting me cuddle this sweet boy, the kisses/licks were very much appreciated 🥰🥰

moving day! 🏠🌅🧪🎓 (pretty sunrise *almost* makes up for the 5am start today)

To aggregate or not to aggregate, that is the question. Read the latest work from @_JodieFergusson and @FauldsKaren exploring the plasmonic and photothermal properties of silica-capped gold nanoparticle aggregates #plasmonics #SERS https://t.co/NFpPllNuts

Huge congratulations to @_JodieFergusson on her paper just out in @JPhysChem on the plasmonic & photothermal properties of silica coated AuNP aggregates with @DuncanGraham70 @sisloden @neil_shand Greg Wallace and Ruairi Carland. Huge congratulations 🥳 https://t.co/7N60oxR51v

Celebrated a mental health milestone yesterday in the best possible way - surrounded by cats at the cat cafe! So hard not to try and sneak one of these cuties home in my jacket 😻🫶🏻

The Nobel Prize has been awarded to women 62 times and men 895 times, but sure, there’s “anti-male discrimination”. 🙄 Huge respect to the ECR for calling this out!
