Guest Blog post for @The_Biochemist : how plant science will change the world ow.ly/PEtQ30gAHNf @JohnInnesCentre
For anyone around, I am finally making the move. Would love to see all my science pals over there and start building a great scicommunity again
Posting everywhere as I am thrilled with how my granny square cardigan turned out!
It took forever, but I love it ❤️

I hate that so many people- in their 30s- that I know are struggling at the moment. And not with small things- things like finding somewhere to rent, finding somewhere affordable to rent, finding work.
These are people with degrees, masters, phds.
My brain really is running at 100mph right now. Way too many thoughts all at once. It's so noisy in my head!

Didn't take my meds yesterday as I forgot like a idiot, and I am paying for it today with the foggiest brain and light headed-ness

This weekend when discussing ages a young one said "so you were born in the late 1900s" and I still haven't gotten over it 💀

Some things I did in 2023 that past me wouldn't have believed I did:
- went on date(s) with girl(s)
- went to a conference, abroad, by myself
- bridesmaid at my sisters wedding (big events used to freak me out)
-visited Edinburgh with my friend
- started accepting me 🥰
Me- an independent 33 year old woman.
Also me- rings up my dad to ask him why my toilet is making a weird sound, if I should worry, and how I can fix it!

I have some amazing friends, but a lot live in different countries from me and/or are in relationships... and yeah.
It can be lonely.
A phone call isn't the same.
Today I am feeling it a little
Has anyone got any recommendations of good dumbells (10kg each) with a smaller grip? Also not too bulky! Last pair I bought the grip was too big for me to hold well 😬
So unfair that a guy barely has to look at a dumbell to get biceps, whereas I have been working hard for months to get the muscles of a 10 year old boy 😅
