Inspired by the regular visits I’ve been paying to the Library due to my copious amounts of dissertation reading, I am going to dedicate today’s blog to the hub of every university. David Wilson Library. Image taken from Wikipedia. Isn’t it just the prettiest? So I’d like to cover the essential things you should […]

Today the topic is films! As I mentioned in my blogger description, I am a huge fan of most types of movies. It’s a part of my life that I’ve always had having been lucky enough to have parents that loved to sit down and spend an afternoon watching a good DVD (or VHS really, […]

One week into the semester and I can’t believe how busy I already am! I’m not sure if I’m busier than I was this time last year – but it certainly feels that way. They do say that during your final year, you just hit the ground running and it appears to be […]

So here it is, my last blog post! Firstly I need to answer the question: what next? I have my degree under my belt but what to do with it? I mentioned in an earlier post that I had a place on the Cancer Cell and Molecular Biology MSc, remaining at Leicester. So this is […]

On Friday the 15th of July I officially graduated from the University of Leicester with a BSc in Medical Biochemistry with a Year in Industry (with a 2:1 degree classification!).

I am in disbelief at the results of the EU referendum, with the UK voting to leave the EU. I was firmly on the Remain side, seeing this as the sensible decision. From a scientific point of view, I know that science benefits from collaborations in research and I am nervous to see the effect […]

I have officially finished my degree (providing I pass, of course) and to be honest nearly two weeks later it still hasn’t quite sunk in. It’s a strange feeling not having to go to the library every day and at times I have felt a little lost. But of course it has been lovely; I […]

With three exams complete and just one to go, I can see the end. On Friday morning I will be sitting my final ever undergraduate exam. My exams so far have been a mixed bag- one has gone pretty well, another has gone partially well and another not so great. Having said this, I’ve definitely […]

After Leicester won the Premier League title a few weeks ago, the city has been the liveliest I’ve ever seen it. A couple of weeks ago we had the LCFC parade, with the tour bus ending in Victoria Park. As my student house is across the road, I didn’t have much of a choice in […]
