💥ONE YEAR OF THE SCOUSE SCIENTIST💥 1) One year ago today I finally plucked up the courage to pursue my dreams and started up “The Scouse Scientist” with the following aims:

Great chatting to @AdamRutherford at @FoGenomics hoping I can educate & inspire the next generation of scientists in #genomics with my videos & social media pages. You don’t need to look or talk a certain way to be a scientist! YouTube.com/thescousescien… #breakingbarriers

In Manchester for the FameLab Final Wish me luck! #FameLab #scicomm @LivUniEngageHLS @EngageSalford

I’ve been invited back onto @bbcmerseyside TOMORROW for International Day of Women & Girls in Science. I’ll be representing all the Scouse Scientists out there and doing my best to eliminate the stereotypes associated with careers in science. Tune in at 10:20AM #WomenInScience

My first #gaudy dinner at @UniofOxford 10 yrs since I graduated 🫣 if you’re considering applying but put off cos you’re not posh / rich / privately educated - none of that matters. There’s a place for you ❤️ @sjc_access #ThisGirlCan #OxfordUni #BreakingStereotypes

I am hosting a Virtual Lab #OpenDay in Jan. Sign up to find out more about what we do in #genomics in the #NHS @genomicsedu @NSHCS @NHSNW @GenomicsEngland @NEYGenomics

Stereotypical images of scientists make it impossible for young people to relate to & create barriers to pursuing a career in this field. Most of us don’t look like this 😂🙈 Be yourself! And you can achieve anything you put your mind to! #womeninscience #breakingstereotypes

In 2010, 70% of you were satisfied with the NHS. Now, only 24% are. 14 years of Tory government understaffing, underfunding & private sector outsourcing have trashed the NHS into a travesty of the service we want to give you. It is heartbreaking & so disgustingly wrong 😔

On my way home from Bristol after attending the @NSHCS Collaborative Meeting today. Great to meet many more #HealthcareScientists & discuss our plans for Education & Training to support our growing workforce. If I met you today please say hello 👋
