About Me:
I live near Portsmouth by the sea. I spend my days researching into Genetic diseases 👩🔬 🐸, while my evenings and weekends are spent with friends and walking my dog 🐕, Ella. I love outdoor sports, watching crime series and eating sweets 🍭 !
-
My Typical Day:
My day is very dependent on my lab schedule and the experiments that I am running. Some days I work 8am til 6pm, some days I start work in the early hours of the morning (between 1am and 5am 🥱) and other days I work throughout the night 😴 .
The most exciting part about science is that no two days are ever the same.
