Thank you everyone for the wishes 🥺💐🪻❤️ Couldn't have done it without the little things like bantering in the corridor, @InstMolPlantSci community events, cake clubs, teaching, sharing reagents and many more 🍰 they help distract phd woes on bad days and keeps me going 🔥
#phdone 19.03.24 ✅ HUGE thank you to my family, partner @_tomleah, cat who didn’t approve of my printed thesis, examiners, thesis committee, @molnar_lab, everyone in @InstMolPlantSci @DarwinTrustOfEd @SBSatEd BTO who supported me throughout a very challenging 4.5 years 🥂🙏🏻🎉🙌🏻

Science wins! MEPs vote in favour of supporting greater use of New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) in the EU. This is a huge step toward more sustainable agriculture. Thank you to everyone who has taken action toward this outcome. 💚🎉

BIG congratulations @TabassumNadra 🔥❤️! You've been through SO much ups and downs throughout the 4 years but kept positive nevertheless. Super excited for you to be reunited with your partner+daughter back home now that you're #PhDONE! 🥳🥳 all the best to your future endeavours
Just survived my PhD viva with minor corrections and it was one of the shortest viva duration 😇✌️ ! Ahh, what a journey it has been 😮💨The feeling is surreal !!

Looking for new opportunities in 2024? My lab soon will have multiple openings ranging from postdocs (*4), technicians (*2) and PhD students (*4). Topics are around synthetic genomics in its broadest sense. Plz get in touch if you are interested!

Just because someone gives you advice does not mean you have to take it. This is why it's SO incredibly valuable to have multiple mentors. n = 1 opinion is often insufficient to get the feedback you need to make big decisions. Thankful for my mentoring team 💚

I've contributed so much to the UK/@EdinburghUni/@UniOfYork community through volunteering work over 8 years of my life while sacrificing time away from my own family, to be STILL treated like we're here to 'steal jobs'. Absolutely disgusted and disappointed. What a sad day.
We’re increasing the minimum earnings threshold for skilled workers by 48% to £38,700, encouraging businesses to look to British talent first and invest in their workforce.

Isn't the discount the point of recruiting people for shortage occupations............?
We’re scrapping the 20% going rate salary discount, meaning the immigration system cannot undercut British workers.

The utter meanness and shame of a nation saying we want a careworker to come and look after our elderly incontinent parents, but we won't let them bring their kids to live with them.
