OK. It's happening, and I can finally talk openly about it (a thread). I have decided to transfer from my #PhD into a #Masters degree. I'm currently writing my thesis - I'm due to submit in October. And I want to talk about it, because we don't talk about this enough.

In 2023 I am also stoked to be teaching VCE Chemistry! Though Bio is a huge part of my background I have realised Chem is my first love ❤️. Also super stoked to be teaching some maths, and Year 7s again in a fresh setting. 🧪⬇️

Surprise! I think of Midnights as a complete concept album, with those 13 songs forming a full picture of the intensities of that mystifying, mad hour. However! There were other songs we wrote on our journey to find that magic 13. taylor.lnk.to/taylorswiftmid…

I’m absolutely terrified that this is where we are - that after so many decades of people fighting for women’s rights to their own bodies, today’s decision has stripped us of that.

Do recommend getting stuck into a pomodoro session before the numbers come out though - much better than my old “refresh until they appear” strategy
Double vaxxed (and prepared with all the snacks) 👍🏻 Please #GetVaccinated - we have access to two safe and effective vaccines 💉

#SciCommSeptember 7: Fave fact! I love dispelling myths especially in the #wellness space. Did you know that there’s no specific proof that #collagen supplements do anything to help your skin/hair/nails? Essentially no better than eating a balanced protein intake (or powder)!
