Yesterday, on International Day of Women and Girls in Science, I submitted my
#PhD
thesis for review. A huge milestone, more updates to follow.
Today however, is Saturday. So I'm eating pancakes and reviewing copy edits to our second recently accepted paper 🥳

4 years and countless experiments later, I finally submitted my PhD thesis! Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen, especially my supervisors,
@KidsCancerInst
, and
@UNSW
. Looking forward to whatever new science adventures the future holds!
I take pics of new, small drugs in balls of bad cells and use maths to learn how the drugs work and how we can test them to make them the best they can be. Look out bad cells!

Today is R U OK? Day
Life’s ups and downs happen to all of us. So, chances are someone you know might be struggling. Your support can make a difference.
Make time to check in with your friends and family regularly and ask: R U really Ok?
