Exam boards are nearly over, so I’m really hoping I can get back into the lab soon. I’m about to put a request into my son’s school newsletter for donations of old shoes with Velcro straps for my latest research idea (looking forward to seeing preliminary data!), and with Laura churning out data on fibres in cat coats, and another research plan developing to resuscitate a three year old final year project, I maybe on line for three papers this summer!
