Very exciting to see this published and to see my name on a paper for the first time!

A paper published in @naturemethods describes a ‘hybrid’ open-top light-sheet microscope that can be used for broad multi-scale volumetric imaging of one or more large tissues. go.nature.com/3sQOZoX

NETWORK is festival ready! All neurones firing and excited for its first gig @DeerShed with thanks to @GlowInflatables and @KwokLab for the scientific guidance linked through @LeedsAHWN Hoping to spark curiosity about #neuroscience especially for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
Went to my first international conference: #EESmechanobiology in #Heidelberg and it was excellent fun! Thank you to @EMBO|@EMBL for organising and thanks to everyone who chatted to me about their work and also who came to my poster ☀️
I also really enjoyed Ed Munro’s keynote talk about neural tube closure in #ascidians despite knowing absolutely nothing about the area
(Hashimoto et al. 2015)

After you die, some cells in your brain keep growing and there is actually an increase in expression of #zombiegenes...

What do you know this as? The Wavy Bacon? The Wiggly Lines? Since its installation in 2014, 'Sign for Art' has become a landmark for meeting up at the University.
Some even say it’s good luck to walk through this sculpture before an exam...
But do you know what it represents?
ALT The 'Sign For Art' sculpture stands in front of the Great Hall. The Sky is a beautiful, rich blue.
Look how incredible this PNN staining in the brain is... Amazing work @NatalieDoody

Commissural axons crossing the midline of the CNS are quite funky, aren't they?😎 #growthcone #axonguidance @UZH_Science
Santiago Ramon y Cajal was one of the pioneers of modern Neuroscience and his Nobel-prize winning work is revered to this day. So I made him out of a toilet roll and an egg. What better way to be commemorated? #LOOminaries #RamonyCajal @KwokLab

Just had a lab LOOminaries competition! Fun and discovered the hidden talent from my team @KwokLab @LabRichter @ScienceLeeds #LOOminaries - Entry 5
