Science, Running, Exploring

About My Blog

My name is Grace - I'm a scientist and a runner.

I've just started my first postdoctoral research fellowship at Queen's University, Belfast - new project, new city, new adventures!

I've got lots to learn and a whole new city to explore. Here, I'll write about my experiences - a bit of science, and a lot of running!
