  • Monday Media: Episode 2, 22nd October 2018

    Last week’s Media Monday blog post seemed to go down pretty well, so I’m bringing it back today. As I said last week, it might not turn out to be a weekly occurrence; selfishly though, I think it’s a good post for me to write – it forces me to take a step away from…

  • Inspiring People: Wendy Mitchell

  • The Phrase “I’m Not a Scientist” and Why You Might Be Wrong

    The phrase ‘I’m not a Scientist’ has made its way into the vernacular of politicians, particularly those that are members of the Republican party in the US.

  • Publication Explainer: Trial Forge Guidance 1: what is a Study Within A Trial (SWAT)?

    This is the third in my ‘Publication Explainer’ series, read the first and second here and here.

  • Knowing When to Take a Break

    If you’ve been following my Blogtober posts, you might have noticed that I missed a day yesterday. I just did not have the time to get a blog post written and uploaded. I had planned to do it on Tuesday night, but I ended up getting caught up with some freelance work and then packaging…

  • Science On A Postcard X PhDepression

    Another post that’s late in the day for #Blogtober.. today was just a bit hectic and I feel like I’ve been constantly busy since I left my flat at 7.15am. It’s now 10pm and I’ve just finished putting new listings in the Science On A Postcard Etsy shop, so I figured I’d give them their…

  • Monday Media: Episode 1, 15th October 2018

    I’ve talked before on this blog about how I do some freelance writing projects along side my full time job, and today I want to start a new series of blog posts that originate from a conversation I had with a client a while ago. One of the regular projects that I work on is…

  • Do We Still Need Ada Lovelace Day?

    Every year since 2009, on the second Tuesday of October, the world celebrates Ada Lovelace Day. Ada Lovelace is widely regarded as being the world’s first computer programmer, and the day aims to raise the profile of women in STEM by encouraging people around the world to talk about the women whose work they admire.…

  • Peterborough STEM Festival – 13th October 2018

    Today I was at Peterborough STEM Festival with Science On A Postcard – I know, I haven’t mentioned it at all, hence the late #Blogtober post. Yesterday I drove from Aberdeen to Northumberland to Doncaster, and then my boyfriend drove the last hour and a half to Peterborough. We were then up bright and early…

  • Inspiring People: Jess Wade

    Blogtober is going much more quickly than I anticipated! It feels like I was only posting my last ‘Inspiring People’ post a few days ago, but that ode to Margaret McCartney was in fact over a week ago.. anyway, on to another hugely inspirational women!
