I have been toying with the idea of a blog from the very beginnings of my PhD studies. It’s been a little over a year and here I am writing my first few lines. Well done me! Sarcasm aside, I am excited to start this online journey that will hopefully follow me through a whirlwind of a PhD. I am currently residing in East Kilbride while being trained in stable isotope mass spectrometry. This evening seemed as good as any to begin my wee adventure.
