Translating genetic material into easy reading, with the occasional blog about day-to-day life. A whirlwind few weeks in the life of a MRes student. July 5, 2015. July 5, 2015.

Translating genetic material into easy reading, with the occasional blog about day-to-day life. A week in the life of an MRes student :). June 7, 2015. June 7, 2015. I’ve been meaning to write something like this for a while now, but life (as always) has gotten in the way! However, a new blog I recently came across written by a lovely lady called Megan. Which has inspired me to finally give this a go. She writes a daily blog about what really happens day to day during a PhD, including the good. So my ide...

Translating genetic material into easy reading, with the occasional blog about day-to-day life. A chocolate bar that can reduce wrinkles! Who’d have thought it? February 24, 2015. So eating chocolate does have it’s benefits. Apart from triggering the release of endorphins, the hormones that make us feel great. This new discovery has come from researchers within the University of Cambridge and a spinoff company called Lycotec. They have named it Esthechoc. And state it is. Distinctly intense and velvety.

Whether you enjoy a lovely home-brewed cup, or like to venture out to your local coffee retailer, the UK loves. Its coffee.

Translating genetic material into easy reading, with the occasional blog about day-to-day life. A week in the life of an MRes student take 2…. June 15, 2015. June 15, 2015.

Sample is used), which was quite boring for me let alone for you to read about! In brief, I:. Split and feed my cute little cells every other day. This weekend I ve...

And we are, but…. 8230;but we made the mistake of reading the manual. I got a flash-back to when I was a slip of a lad – I’d just bought a second hand car. It was wonderful.
