I love biology and teaching people about what is happening in cells. I also am really interested in microscopy.
I also like cats, horses and horseback riding, fish keeping (I have two aquariums), video games-particularly the Half-Life franchise and Half Life mods, and I have recently gotten into VR (NOT META!) so if you want to chat about any of these topics that would be great!

Hi #ScienceMastadon !!! #Introduction
I’m a mucosal immunologist at the University of Oxford especially interested in studying antigen-specific T cells.
I also enjoy nerdy baking! Highlights below 🤓👩🏻🔬👩🏻💻👩🏻🍳

The cat sat on the grass
The grass sat on the worm
The worm fed the bird
The soil was Earth
That is my spin, now spun.
What fun.
Honestly, I think I have been more active on this site than I ever was on the bird site. I never felt like I fit in there.
@Geolizzy
I am not a geologist ( total biologist), but I like geology. Particularly volcanoes. I grew up during the Mt St Helen's eruptions.
I think I accidentally blocked a lot of new followers. Oopsie, I apologize but I am new and still learning how this works.
@nomi
I actually heard of someone with that name.

ouch
@trinsec
I like games too. I really like half life and half life mods.

There are a lot of cornfields Herr. I was lucky to find my way out!
I haven't been on here long, but I love the civil discourse and absence of drama!
@DrK That sounds really cool! I am a postdoc who uses drosophila genetics to understand the role lipid droplets play during development.
My favorite organelle is the lipid droplet.
@peterdrake I think the challenge is to create a non-judgmental environment. Unfortunately in the world of social media and normal human nature, that is easier said than done.
@SteelFolk I agree. I think one of the most difficult things for new grad students to understand is that grades and GPA aren't what define you any more. It is more important to be able to reason and do good reasearch.
