Good morning everyone 👋🏾, Julia here. Really excited to take over the @UoM_DCS twitter today. My day started a few hours ago, just counting and plating some cells for a drug sensitivity assay. - JM

Here’s one of my 96-well plates containing 5.33 x 10^4 ovarian cancer cells per ml. I add 200 ul PBS to the outer wells to minimise evaporation. - JM

Tomorrow I will treat these cells with different drug combinations. Now to start an immunofluorescence experiment! - JM

The final step in preparing slides for immunofluorescence is my favourite. 💅🏾 - JM

Look at this abnormal mitosis (in the middle). Don’t you think it looks like the Mercedes Benz symbol? Cancer cells do strange things! - JM

And just like that my shift in the lab is over! Time to make my way home, have lunch and then continue working 👩🏾‍💻. It’s a beautiful day. - JM

Today working from home looks like copious cups of tea, music and some analysis using FIJI. My immunofluorescence experiment worked well 💪🏾. - JM

Thank you @morris_juliaa for your informative #TakeoverTuesday 👩🏾‍🔬🧪 Who knew nail varnish was an integral part of an immunofluorescence experiment! 😂

Remember, only 3 days left until the epic #ManchesterPAW event!👇 Register before Thursday afternoon to (virtually) attend!

I’ve just finished my last zoom meeting of the day 👩🏾‍💻. We’ve had a productive one!! Tissue culture, immunofluorescence, analysis-at-home and a meeting. Thank you for joining me today. That’s me over and out ✌🏾. - JM
