You know summer has disappeared when it’s black on black 👯‍♀️ . . . . . . #stolenmaracas #nightout #outout #readyfortheweekend #girls #girlsnight #crossfitgirls #stronggirls #dancing #bubbles #gin #smiles #revolution #revolutiondecuba #weekend #weekendvibes #worklifebalance #fun #friends #happiness #instadaily

Look after you 💛 yesterday was #worldmentalhealthday, a day where people shine a light on a subject we tend to hide away from. Discussing mental health always seemed to be a taboo subject, and I guess it still is, but every year more and more people are talking about it which is incredible. 🙏🏽 . People go through struggles with mental health in so many different ways. What helps one person might not help the next, it’s not one size fits all. Transparency and openness is therefore key. . I didn’t experience struggles until I was a PhD student. I’ve spoken about it on here before, but long story short, completing my PhD was tougher than I ever imagined. If you resonate with this and haven’t already read my “PhDs, academia and mental health” blog post, then check out the link in my bio. . Once PhD was over, I rewarded myself with travelling to Thailand and Bali... I needed the time to get away and just have fun. I saw amazing places, I didn’t worry about normal life and I met amazing people. Doing that for myself was one of the best decisions I’ve made for me. . It’s so important we appreciate and respect our mental health. Taking care of it should be a priority. Do what helps you to relax, do what makes you happy, seek help when you need it and surround yourself with the people who have a positive influence on you 💙

Fingers crossed 🤞🏼exciting things are just around the corner. . After my time off to enjoy summer, I finally turned my attention to focussing on my next career move (yes it took a while!). Not many jobs that excited me were cropping up which felt pretty frustrating... I guess things quieten down over the summer months. But now so many exciting roles have popped up in my inbox or through searches, finally! 🙌🏼 . I’ve dedicated more time to developing my CV, thinking about what I want & value in a job and working on job applications. With a more focussed approach I’ve suddenly been offered the chance to interview for various roles. 💃🏻 . So... it was London last week and back to London again tomorrow. 🚂 Scicomm roles are wayyy more popular than I thought here in the UK... so considering I’m changing career direction from laboratory research to scicomm we’ll just see what happens 👀 . . . . . . . #wishmeluck #scicomm #jobsearch #goals #career #careergoals #sciencecommunication #sciencecommunicator #communicator #dreamjob #publicengagement #scientist #science #stem #womeninstem #womeninscience #realtalk #london #londonlife #thefutureisexciting #scientistswhoselfie #careerchange #workhard #worklifebalance #postphdlife #travel #work

Today’s adventures included a visit to the HOOKED exhibition at @scigallerylon on their preview weekend. 👀 . HOOKED delves into the complex world of addiction and recovery. They’ve brought together researchers from @kings_college_london, artists and those who’ve lived with addiction. So interesting and recommend if you’re in London! . It covers issues including drugs, alcohol, gambling, gaming... but also the use of smartphones and social media. Kinda ironic I’m spending my train journey home glued to my phone and posting this on social media. 🤦🏻‍♀️ . . . . . . #sciencegallerylondon #science #sciart #art #addiction #recovery #neuroscience #psychology #psychiatry #health #artgallery #artist #london #explore #research #scicomm #scientist #stem #biology #mentalhealth #instascience #instadaily #alcoholism #drugs #socialmedia

For fun I like to wear a silly hat and pick weight plates up from the pool floor. 🤷🏻‍♀️ . 📸 @neilshearer_photography @wodonwater . . . . . . #wodonwater #swimwod #swimming #bubbles #frontcrawl #underwater #pooltime #crossfit #crossfitgirls #teamsolent #crossfitsolent #competition #crossfitlifestyle #teamwork #exercise #fitness #funandfitness #lifting #girlswholift #health #fun #lifestyle #weekend #nastylifestyle

A day of all the swimming and all the crossfit 🏊🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️ and we survived! Such a great day with amazing company. Super happy with a 12/29th finish yayy. Now give me some food. . . . . . #crossfit #crossfitsolent #teamsolent #teamwod #teamcomp #mixedpairs #teamwork #exercise #fitness #instafit #swimming #wodonwater #smiles #happiness #healthy #healthlifestyle #fun #roadtrip #weekend #weekendfun #adventure #strong #strength

Today is #relaxationday 💆🏻‍♀️ and it’s not surprising that I was feeling a little more relaxed chilling on a boat whilst exploring Thailand than I do here in the UK! . It’s taken me a while to feel more myself and relaxed after the PhD. But I FINALLY feel like I’ve got there and ready to put all my energy into that next career step. I’ve allowed myself downtime to just enjoy the summer, so time to be more proactive with this job hunt! 👀 . Relaxing is all about looking after yourself in whatever form that works for you. So after a day of work then working on a job application, I’m going to have fun and play around in crossfit gymnastics class 🤸🏻‍♀️ . For those of you needing to get more self-care into your life, check out my previous ‘PhD self-care tips’ blog post (link in bio). . . . . . . #relax #nationalrelaxationday #selfcare #stress #stressed #chill #scientist #career #careergoals #worklifebalance #balance #breathe #timeout #focus #burnout #phd #phdstudent #phdlife #travel #travellife #explore #adventure #memories #thailand #seasia #throwback #instatravel #fitness #fun

I wouldn’t say no to getting back on a plane and watching sunsets like these again 😍 . . . . . . #travel #travelling #nature #sunset #moon #magical #beautiful #colour #bali #gilitrawangan #indonesia #travellife #explore #adventure #instatravel #relax #goodvibes #explorebali #balilife #holiday #paradise #travelgram #beautifuldestinations #selfcare #memories #fun #happiness #worklifebalance

PhDone 🎓 the hat may be ridiculously poofy and I might look like I belong in Hogwarts but I’m loving it. What a journey.
