A reminder to those presenting their work as presentations/papers.

- Your work is important
- Don’t compare yourself to others
- You don’t need to know everything
- You know more than you think
- People will be interested

Present your research and have fun

Had a great time presenting some of my postdoc research yesterday at #ARVO2024 , as a first time attendee! Thanks for the support Dr Amanda-Jayne Carr Ana Alcafe 🌸Z🌸 UCL Institute of Ophthalmology

(My face may not look happy but I was excited to be talking about AMD, macrophages and iPSCs!)

So amazing to see the line-up of ARVO talks and poster from UCL Institute of Ophthalmology researchers. Looking forward to visiting Seattle next week, where lab members Ana Alcafe Evangeline (Evie) Foster and 🌸Z🌸 will be presenting their work
#ARVO2024

How long is it gonna take to finish that paper?

Me:

Two years ago, my mentee was diagnosed with cancer very young. It was sudden and unexpected. She was determined as heck though and filled with grit. Once things settled a little I offered her a project to work on to keep her distracted with NO timeline. 🧵 1/10

Happy #IWD2024 our exhibition with King's Arts & Humanities and Virtual & Immersive Production Studio GLOW: Illuminating Innovation launched today to celebrate and highlight the contributions of women to digital creativity. Curator Prof. Sarah Atkinson explains all!

Big up to the amazing women in my lab on International Women in Science Day Evangeline (Evie) Foster 🌸Z🌸 Ana Alcafe Pia Malakul and Debbie Shang

We are looking for a new post doc to come and join us at the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology to help with our research modelling the role of the immune system in macular disease. Please share or get in touch if interested
