Sophie and I both received SCI Early Career Awards this week due to our work on the SCI Agri-Food Early Careers Committee. SCI is a great society if you’re interested in engaging with people working in science across both academia and industry

Translation UK was such a great conference 😁. It was lovely to meet and discuss my work with so many people working in the protein translation field. Thank you for all the suggestions! Further, I feel honoured to hear that I won the 2nd place student talk prize 😁 #TLUK25
