This seems to sum up my writing week. Remember, though, progress is not ONLY measured in words! Keep putting one foot in front of the other, and you'll get there... Or, at least that's what I'm telling myself for now 😃 #academicwriting#academicsky

Realised I made a mistake in the alt text just after posting. The magnification of the images go in this order from left to right; 10X, 40X, 100X, 400X. Apologies!

Did my first scientific experiment as part of my degree in Freshwater and Marine Biology; viewing an onion cell through a microscope.

A close up of an onion cell viewed through a microscope at a magnification of 10X. It appears purple due to being dyed with methylene blue.

Let's talk about one of the most interesting questions in cancer biology: Why don't WHALES get MORE CANCER? This question is also called "Peto's Paradox" for epidemiologist Sir Richard Peto, who demonstrated the link between smoking and lung cancer, 1951. So why whales, in particular?

A photo of a humpback whale, eye to the camera, just under the surface of blue water, with sunbeams streaming down.  It has ridged skin that is cream colored with darker grey dorsal skin.
