About Me

Hello, I'm Alex, and this is my blog. 

That's me, posing near the Scottish National Gallery

I am a student ambassador for the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine (CMVM) at the University of Edinburgh, one thing I do in this role is update this blog (at least) once every month with posts about my research and life as a student here.

I was born in Nottingham where I spent the first 18 years of my education, after cruising through secondary school and college, I applied to do - and was rejected for - medicine; it turns out this was one of the best things that could have happened to me since it was whilst I studied BSc Microbiology at the University of Leeds (2009-2012) that I got really passionate about science.

I am a humanist, feminist vegetarian who enjoys science, comedy, cooking, running, politics, philosophy and computer games. I couldn't really be in a better city for all these things.
