** In Collaboration** We all age, and one of the most challenging things to deal with as we get older is that our parents do as well. In fact, when we start to see them decline in physical or mental health or both, it can be a real shock to the system. Not to mention the added worry about whether […]
Hello all! I am a 2nd-year PhD candidate from the Queensland University of Technology based at the Translational Research Institute in Brisbane, Australia. I have a Bachelor of Biomedical Science (BBiomSci) and an Honours in Biomedical Sciences (BBiomSci Hons). My research focuses on finding ways to prevent or delay disease relapse in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have been […]
**In Collaboration** Moving out is something that many of us dream about from a young age. Unless you’re a complete home bird, and love or have loved everything about living at home with your parents, then we don’t doubt that times would have got hard when it came to moving out.

It is home to some of the most stunning beaches, including one where you walk through a ‘secret’ cave and are greeted with dazzling blue water, pristine sand, and […]
I have been lucky enough to explore so many amazing parts of the world, and I often choose to stay in Airbnbs when I do ! They are a true home away from home and I am a little obsessed with home designs and interior decorating (as you may be able to tell from all my house related posts) so […]
The last few months have been particularly busy, I have been finishing my PhD, working full time, marking, teaching online, and running this blog. I promise this post isn’t for your sympathy, it is to be transparent about the difficulties of fitting this much in, but in the same vein showing that it is possible (although probably not sustainable long […]

This semester, I’m both working on my research and teaching a food science course as a first-time instructor! This means that my days are all over the map – a combination of wet lab work and bioinformatics alongside teaching labs, […]
