Discussing Ageing and Data Analysis at the IceLab Lunch Pitch
Exploring the Intricacies of Ageing: My Experience at the IceLab LunchPitch
Yesterday, I, along with Mattias Forsell, had the opportunity to present at the first IceLab Lunch Pitch of the season. We discussed various aspects of ageing, from the microscopic (me) to the population level (Mattias). We openly invited collaborators to join us in developing data processing pipelines and conducting large-scale data analysis for our respective projects.

KBC Days: A Dive into Science and Networking
Taking part in the KBC Days at Umeå University, where I presented my research, listened to great talks and met a lot of fantastic people.
I'm eager to share my experience at the KBC Days held at Umeå University last week. I had a fantastic time filled with exciting talks, engaging discussions and a lot of new connections. Here's a glimpse into the highlights of the two-day event.
The event kicked off with sessions, where recently recruited faculty members talked about their science. I had the privilege of contributing to the kickoff by sharing insights from my postdoctoral research. As a new PI, getting the opportunity to discuss my science added an extra layer of excitement, especially considering the diverse audience that included students, peers, and even representatives from major funding agencies, including the esteemed Kempe Foundation.
During my talk, we delved deep into the intricate relationship between phenotype and functionality, showcasing the results of my postdoctoral endeavours. It was a moment of pride to stand in front of such a varied audience, knowing that my journey was not just about looking back at past accomplishments but also forward into the exciting possibilities of the future. What made the experience even more special was the opportunity to engage with Alice Kempe during lunch, exchanging thoughts and insights.
The sessions, although quite lengthy, turned out to be incredibly rewarding. The rich scientific discussions fueled the intellectual atmosphere, making every minute worthwhile. A delightful dinner followed, creating a perfect blend of fun and networking.
Day 2 shed light on the impressive work of the Umeå Postdoc Society. Their commitment to balancing professional development and social events for early career researchers was evident, particularly in sessions on science communication and grant writing. As a new PI, the prospect of collaboration with this vibrant community is genuinely exciting.
Reflecting on the KBC Days, I'm grateful for the connections made and the insights gained. The event has fueled my excitement for what lies ahead, and I look forward to translating these experiences into tangible contributions to the academic community.
Stay tuned for more updates and adventures in the world of academia!
