I was so burned out I didn’t even know what it was I wanted to do anymore. And a year on, I don’t even recognize the person I was a year ago. So much has changed, and kinda scary to say on the internet, but I’m really proud of myself for making that change happen 🥰 Taking the leap into the uncharted world of science communication, albeit a lot of stumbling in the dark😂, has been instrumental to me rediscovering my love of science again 🧪🔬😍 it feels like officially starting a new chapter with these headshots 🫶🤗 thank you @ariellelewisstudios for being willing to mess around and bring my vision come to life 🙂 Lmk if you have a fav I should change my profile pic to!! Thinking 1 or 2?? 🤔 Stay tuned science lovers, we are only just getting started 🤩🫶 #scicomm #womeninscience #phdjourney #phdglowup Ps yes sorry I keep bringing it up but I’m just so bloody excited for you guys to tune into this summer’s science career podcast @unprogrammedscientist . Who needs Love Island when you’ve got 14 scientists talking about how they pivoted away from academia?! 🫶🤩 (I’m just messing @loveisland dw there can be space for both of us😁😎)".
