I have avoided using this platform for politics / current affairs and have tried to restrict myself to science, but with current events, this is no longer possible. Here are some thoughts about what is happening. It is long and rambling. Apologies. 1/24

Dear @trussliz / @RishiSunak the cost of living crisis has left millions worried how they'll make ends meet. I'd like to formally invite you, as the new PM, to join me asap once you take office for a special hour's @itvMLshow discussion/Q&A to answer/ease people's concerns.

This.
A bit of raw vulnerable honesty here in the next few tweets... I really want to be a doctor. It’s been my central personal goal for years now, and every major step I’ve taken in my life over the past few years has been to work towards achieving that. 1/n

4 years ago I visited @wadhamoxford for an Open Day. Today I found out I’d obtained a First Class degree in Medicine (Preclinical) after 3 years at Wadham. Later I’m travelling to Wadham to help at this year’s open day… and that closes the most brilliant chapter yet!

*Disclaimer: non-academic, but wholesome thread (1/6)*. I want to share a passion project, which I hope can be replicated in more university cities to foster a closer relationship between members of the university and the local community.
