Hi everyone! I am @JuliaSanchezBio, a postdoc @CMBI_Imperial & today I will be tweeting about our departmental postdocs and fellows day; hope you enjoy career and science talks, and get to meet new colleagues! #DoIDPFDay

To kick-off the event we have @wendybarclay11, our head of department, and @avi_cmbi, our postdoc champion. We, your DoID postdoc reps @kkrohnhuse,@AnatMelamed & @CatherineKibir1, will also be introducing ourselves 😊 #DoIDPFDay

@wendybarclay11 @avi_cmbi @kkrohnhuse @AnatMelamed @CatherineKibir1 @imperialcollege @ImperialMed @ines_perpetuo from @ImperialPFDC is now giving us an overview of how they can support us postdocs & fellows to choose & achieve our future objectives!
They have always been incredibly helpful, and happy to be contacted! #DoIDPFDay

After a short break, we move on to the fellows discussion panel on career trajectories! Thank you @ada_w_yan @rachelpjlai @_myrsini_ @driglar for agreeing to participate & sharing your experiences and advice with us. #DoIDPFDay

@ada_w_yan @rachelpjlai @_myrsini_ @driglar And that’s it for the morning session, we will be back with the first talks: @CarrenoYugueros, @mnkustef & @AlfredFillol.
Thanks again to the fellows, its great to hear about normalising failure & the importance of starting to consider fellowships early & case-by-case. #DoIDPFDay

@ada_w_yan @rachelpjlai @_myrsini_ @driglar @CarrenoYugueros @mnkustef @AlfredFillol Very interesting first session! We heard about spatial variation of the gut microbiome f- @CarrenoYugueros (@driglar lab), using metagenomics to study Kawasaki disease - @mnkustef & lateral transduction by bacteriophages - @AlfredFillol (@jrpenades @CMBI_Imperial) #DoIDPFDay

Now on to some speed-networking for those who want to get to know their colleagues in the department a bit better! #networking #DoIDPFDay
After this, we will have our keynote talk at 4pm by Dr. Fiona Marston from #LSTM: “An Unexpected (Career) Journey”

@ImperialMed Thank you, Dr Fiona Marston, that was such an enlightening talk & a very welcome real-life story about a career in science, highlighting the importance of making the most of your opportunities without giving up on what you most value. #LSTM #DoIDPFDay

@ImperialMed @LSTMnews @imperialcollege To finish the day off, time to socialise and get to meet new people @gather_town! All of us reps will be around, so come and join us! Thanks everyone for making #DoIDPFDay such a success, I will say goodbye for now, but you can find me @JuliaSanchezBio! Have a lovely weekend 😊
