It's World Ostomy Day! For those who don't know, I have a permanent ileostomy because of a really bad time with ulcerative colitis. Contrary to what many people think though, this has given me my life back rather than take things away. 1/

continued to try and be an academic weapon, helped win a trophy with the Oxford wheelchair basketball team, and learned to row... amongst many other things!! 3/

It isn't always plain sailing, there have been surgeries and hospital admissions and sick days, but I'm doing okay. Remember not every disability is visible & don't assume a life changing surgery made things worse. Surgery 7 years ago allowed me to thrive, not just survive! 4/4

#isitok that I have tickets to @TheLastLeg in Paris on Friday?!!! Along with tickets to 17 different sports over the games 🤩 Adam, Alex, and Josh - do you need two young, enthusiastic, and chaotic special reporters?

Doing a remote interview with COVID and a chest infection, and being interrupted by a yelling cat, was not on my to-do list for August. But hey ho.

the post-hospital stay hangover sucks. it's scary how quickly I adapt to being institutionalised and being brought three cups of tea a day.

nothing quite says 'budding academic' like marking mock exam papers for the undergraduates while on holiday in Croatia...

tonight's marking is brought to you by rain and Teranino which I had to buy just because there was a goat on the bottle

Yesterday was an incredible end to my first season playing competitive wheelchair basketball! Oxford finished as runners-up in division three of the EWWB South league, winning our final game by enough points to secure the spot. We've come so far in our first set of games!!

As a both a computational biochemist and someone who spends too much time on the internet, it sure is frustrating to have a headache and thus not be able to do ANYTHING involving a screen

I can buy myself flowers, but it's way better when I don't have to 😊
