I’m Beth, I finished my PhD last year at the University of Leeds and I’m now embarking on my journey as a post-doctoral research fellow. My PhD project and current work is in the field of platelet biology in the context of cardiovascular disease. When I’m not in the lab, I like to practice yoga, go to spin classes, read and spend time with my family & friends.
I have a knack for buying plants which inevitably my lovely fiancé Zach ends up looking after (thank you).
I love being a scientist, it is a huge part of my identity and I wanted to share that. I started this blog back in 2020 during the first COVID lockdown, partly because I was having an identity crisis with the labs closing and partly because I’m hugely passionate about science communication and breaking stereotypes around being a scientist. It’s given me the opportunity to share my PhD journey through the pandemic, as well as help me to improve my writing skills and gain confidence in public speaking. I want to make science accessible to everyone and encourage the next generation to pursue a career in the wonderful world of STEM.
I also share my journey on Instagram, TikTok & YouTube.
Thanks for following me on this journey!
Much love,
