Girlymicro

I count myself so fortunate to work with the most amazing infection prevention and control team at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).

I was fortunate enough to undertake my undergraduate degree at a time when tuition fees were not what they are now.

It’s my birthday tomorrow and I am very fortunate to have been given a lovely birthday present by one of the best scientists I know…a guest blog!

A foundation of all good science is collaboration, and international collaboration has been a component of almost all breakthrough scientific processes.

August is always a time of reflection for me.

This week is results week, many people will have been receiving A-level, T-level, and BTEC results, and making some pretty big life choices as a result, often feeling a lot of pressure to get them right as, for some, it can feel like a point of no return.

When I started training, TB was around but in most areas was at pretty low levels and drug resistant TB, which makes it very hard to treat, was not a thing.

I posted on LinkedIn a few weeks ago a call for anyone who wanted to try their hand at blog writing to contribute a guest blog to The Girlymicrobiologist.

I suspect that many people opening this blog may be thinking that I’m going to write something about loss, and I am, but not necessarily about the loss of a person.

It’s been a little while since I posted some academic tips, I think mostly because I spent a lot of last year in that space whilst writing It Shouldn’t Happen to a PhD Student.

Hi Everyone Massive apologies but there is no blog this week, for two reasons: One, IT’S SO HOT and I have a normal heat comfort range of no more than 23 degrees.

Last week I wrote about the challenges of the current Ebola virus outbreak, talking about some details linked to the virus itself, and also some challenges that mean this outbreak may be more challenging to manage.
