As a medical translator, I invest a lot of time educating myself to stay abreast of the latest breakthroughs. Occasionally, though, I like to look into the past and see how far we have come. Check out this fascinating exhibition 🙂 #medieval #medicine www.festival.cam.ac.uk/events/exhib...

Felt like sharing a piece of news that is (relatively) positive. May international research collaborations endure and perdure everywhere #StandUpForScience #scientific #collaboration #research #Palestinian #Israeli www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Had a great time with my daughter at "Genetics Matters" in Newcastle, part of Rare Disease Day, an annual initiative that aims to raise awareness for rare diseases and improve access to treatment and recognition for patients. #RareDiseaseDay #EURORDIS #Genetics #Research #PatientEngagement
