Love a good logo tee for a bit of #outreach. I didn’t know my job in #scicomm and public engagement existed until I was 21 - glad to to talk to 15 year olds today about careers in science they might not have heard of @TwinsUKres

Day 2 of @TwinsUKres PREDICT and I have more muffins to eat for breakfast and lunch. But they’re not regular muffins - they’re specially made to have a certain proportion of fat/fibre/carbs/protein. At least today’s don’t taste like rubber and I get a chocolate milkshake too!

So I’ve signed up to take part in a @TwinsUKres study looking at gut bacteria and food responses. I’ve never done a study before! Full clinic day on Tuesday with training and blood draws, and then logging food for two weeks, plus some finger prick tests, all for #science

Thank you @OddboxLDN for the amazing produce in my veg box this morning! Opening the box felt like Christmas again, plus some supersized veg ⬇️⬇️ supermarket carrot vs oddbox carrot, from farmers’ leftovers they can’t sell to supermarkets

I’ve been nominated by @coracle1 to do the challenge of #7Books. Picture of a book you love every day for 7 days - no explanations and nominate someone else to take it each day. #Day2 is The Power by Naomi Alderman, and I nominate @danfarrow9
