Science is not having a single artistic bone in your body but still spending the whole day getting creative, playing with weird glue and paintbrushes 😅. #Research #PostDocLife

A successful first day in Houston. Feet are aching. And at one point, we were nothing but sweat. Still, that was fun 😎. Now it's time to get conference ready! 👩🔬. #ASMicrobe

On the left is the paperback copy of "Project Hail Mary" that I first read and absolutely fell in love with! . On the right is the hardback copy I purposefully bought to take to Houston in the hopes I meet @andyweirauthor while attending #ASMicrobe 😅. Wish me luck 🤞🏻

I must say, seeing @DGlaucomflecken during a #microbio23 talk on using 16S RNA nanopore sequencing for clinical diagnostics was not on my conference bingo card 😅. Still a good surprise! Shame Jonathan couldn't make an appearance though. #PhDChat

Talk about an early start 😅. Very much looking forward to this week at #Microbio23!. It's only been one morning and I've already been frantically taking notes of things to add to my thesis 👀 . Feel free to come say hello, I'll be at P237 😊

Things at the work desk are getting a little bit chaotic 😅🎄. P.S.: Anyone else's fear of using stickers clearly becoming a problem?

At this point, I feel obliged to include @Lin_Manuel in my thesis acknowledgements. Been listening to the whole of @HamiltonMusical & @intheheights while doing gentamicin protection assays, almost daily, for the past 3+ months. It gives me just enough motivation to keep going 😅.
