Much-needed catch up in the pub yesterday with @jamthompson1 @EVILScienceUoN and Alan (?) Even managed to bring my son along (he says 'he was little bored') so that's a hit! Thanks everyone, it's been a tough week and I needed my friends x

Back in the lab today for the first time in ages to do a media change for a postdoc taking a well-deserved break (her cells anyway, she drinks wine not DMEM). #reallyhopeididntscrewup @MerryLabNotts
