Never renting from @thriftycars ever again! They gave me a car with missing muffler but because I didnāt follow the ācancellation policyā (since Iād already been given it) Iām responsible for the rental even though it was returned ten mins later when I couldnāt drive it!
We survived the year!!! So very very proud to see our PhD in Biomedical Sciences graduates finish their journey despite extraordinary uncertainties this past year. šµš·šš
