Adventures of a science nerd in Ethiopia. Ask and ye shall receive … possibly. October 29, 2015. This week I’m trying to learn patience. It’s a virtue and all that. Mum told me all those years ago. And mums are the bomb, so it’s gotta be true. Both Italy and Africa are currently giving me some patience lessons lately (translation: driving me absolutely bonkers). Basically, the Vikster and I have been trying … More Ask and ye shall receive … possibly. Ask and ye shall receive … possibly. October 20, 2015.

Today is the official start of my last month at work… SIMULTANEOUS “YAHOO” AND “EEEEEERMAGHERD”! Of their lives in the battle for the truth. Honestly, I’m looking forward to a break.

Adventures of a science nerd in Ethiopia. The end of the working world as I know it. December 11, 2015. December 2, 2015. But, that’s not gonna deter me from taking this crazy African path that’s ahead. Image from pixabay.com. The nostalgia is ripe these days. I learnt so much over the years, and I met the most amazing people. I value their friendship, their intellect, and their insanity. Yep, colleagues can be really special sometimes. And I’m tired. I’m glad to have a rest, just for a while. It’s...

Adventures of a science nerd in Ethiopia. Bite me, mosquitoes: It’s time to end your reign of terror. October 20, 2015. October 19, 2015. In my last blog post I had a whine about the. Absolute certainty of my contracting malaria while in Ethiopia. My blood is a delicious fine wine, anti-mosquito spray doesn’t work well,. You know what, dear readers? I’m gonna tell myself to STFU. I’m gonna take my first-world problems, and go sit in the naughty corner and think about what I’ve done. Simply imagining that...

Adventures of a science nerd in Ethiopia. Insane doodlings from a bored nerd on a train. December 7, 2015. December 3, 2015. Disclaimer: I’m not an artist. I’m pretty sure I can’t even spell pencil anymore. Chalk is for crime-scene investigation. Paint is for walls. Sculptures are just messed-up furniture.*. You know that field, we all have one. It’s the one behind the shed, with the unmown grass and scraggly bushes and hidden dog poop everywhere. Are you craving cake? Well maybe it’s because your ...

Adventures of a science nerd in Ethiopia. Just a little academic background (and I mean a veeeeery little). If you want more info, contact me and I’ll send it through. I studied at Sydney Uni, Australia, where I was introduced to the wonderfully complex world of cellular metabolism. After a short but sweet adipocyte-centred honours year (one year in a lab, write a thesis, you know the drill), I was totally hooked. After four years, it’s time to move on. Africa awaits.

Adventures of a science nerd in Ethiopia. Boxes, boxes, everywhere. December 14, 2015. December 2, 2015. And a whole lot of dust. Short post from me today, because I’m living in a pile of boxes and bubble wrap. It’s doing my head in. Not to mention every five seconds I remember something that should be done before I mosey off to the land of meat pies, kangaroos, and spiders. Image from pixabay.com. Until next time, science fans!
