This is certainly true for me at the moment in academic research. Albeit slightly different with a number of doors slightly ajar\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">I never actually thought the day would come that I\u2019d need to take down the geckos (thanks Promega!), soft penguin, horse, and many other toys that I have accumulated over the years, from my shelf and wall; to clear my desk, empty the drawers, and remove the carrier bags, teapot, cafeti\u00e8re and other worldly possessions at the end of my time, at the School of Dentistry. I genuinely thought I\u2019d be there for the rest of my life.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b>Naive? Maybe. But most definitely not ungrateful.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">I had a great journey through my PhD on the whole, and I most definitely earned my PhD in my viva! More on that in a different post soon. But one thing I am proud of is taking opportunities whenever they were presented to me. I think it\u2019s really important, as a junior scientist at least, to do what you can to get yourself out there in the field; go to conferences, meetings, networking events, seminars, etc; and probably even more importantly, talk to people! Professors, senior scientists, and those that we hold in the highest regard are not gods, they are not untouchable. They are people. They have been through the same academic journey that we have gone or are going through at the moment. They are approachable, they will talk to you, and to be honest, they will probably be pretty flattered that you want to discuss something\u00a0<b><i>with them<\/i><\/b>!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><b>Academic cliques. A bit like\u00a0biofilms; apparently impenetrable from the outside, but go and speak to them and you\u2019ll find the channels in!<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">I\u2019m involved in oral microbiology, and it\u2019s a pretty niche field compared to some other fields like cancer research. A lot of \u2018academics\u2019 already have clusters or groups that on the outside seem impenetrable. Ironically, a bit like a biofilm, which my PhD research has been focused on! I know it isn\u2019t easy for a lot of people just to get the courage to up and move toward people with the confidence to actually speak to them, but that\u2019s what I did, and for what it\u2019s worth, I\u2019ll tell you that it\u2019s probably one of the best things I ever did during my PhD. Just talking to people really opens them up to being more receptive to you, to your PI if they don\u2019t already know them that well, and to others in their cliques too. This way, you get to know others, and then you get to know who they know, and before you know it, you\u2019re getting around hundreds of different people, directly or indirectly! Social media is amazing for this; go and follow people on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/DanielJMorse\" style=\"color:blue; text-decoration:underline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/DanielJMorse\" style=\"color:blue; text-decoration:underline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>. Then, if they\u2019re at a conference you are attending, send them a tweet or a message and ask if they fancy a quick chat. This opens doors, which will benefit you no end in the future. This is exactly what I did.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">So, having finished my PhD in late 2017\/early 2018 (viva Dec 2017, corrections March 2018), and completing a couple of short postdoctoral positions since then, I have just been awarded a 12-month Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund (ISSF) consolidator grant. This grant is intended to enable me to continue my PhD research within the university, but as a transition toward independence from my PhD supervisors. This is a fantastic opportunity to build on my previous work, and move in a slightly different direction, with a completely new set of supervisors\/collaborators to work with. I have teamed up with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardiff.ac.uk\/people\/view\/81226-marchesi-julian\" style=\"color:blue; text-decoration:underline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Professor Julian Marchesi<\/a>\u00a0(Professor of gut microbiome at Cardiff University and Professor of digestive health at Imperial College London).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">I cannot begin to tell you how ecstatic I am for this grant, and to be able to continue the PhD work that I\u2019ve been doing for the past 4 or so years is an awesome opportunity that most newly qualified postdocs don\u2019t get. It\u2019s familiar territory, and hopefully I\u2019ll be able to make some significant progress in a relatively short period! I\u2019m aiming for an extra 2 papers from this, which will help support future fellowship applications, or the postdoctoral research positions elsewhere (watch this space\u2026!) that might be on the agenda sometime. As I\u2019ve made an effort to talk to some influential figures in my field over the years. I\u2019m fortunate enough to have the wonderful\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bristol.ac.uk\/dental\/people\/angela-h-nobbs\/index.html\" style=\"color:blue; text-decoration:underline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr Angela Nobbs<\/a>\u00a0as a collaborator on the project, and I\u2019m hoping to spend a bit of time with her to look more into the molecular mechanisms of bacterial modulation of\u00a0<i>C. albicans\u00a0<\/i>virulence! I\u2019ve known Angela for a number of years now, and I\u2019m particularly excited to work with her, with my knowledge of her expertise in bacteria-<i>Candida<\/i>\u00a0interactions and molecular biology! Not only this, but she was my external examiner for my PhD viva, and despite knowing\u00a0<b><i>ALL<\/i><\/b>\u00a0of my weaknesses, still feels I am good enough to work with!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">So it\u2019s all change at the School of Dentistry; Josh has a job in Bristol as a clinician for a year (which he\u2019s very much looking forward to!), and I\u2019m leaving for the School of Biosciences, leaving Katrina on her own in the DW group until the arrival of the new PhD student who will be filling my boots, and building on my previous PhD work too! I\u2019m looking forward to being able to work with her, spending some time back in Dental, and having her work with me in Biosciences too. And there\u2019s scope for her to come and spend some time in Angela\u2019s lab when I head over sometime in the new year too!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Exciting times ahead!! And plenty more to come I\u2019m very sure! Oh, and what I didn\u2019t mention is that there is a lectureship position at UCL that I have been made aware of, and will be looking into in a bit more depth. \u2018Talking to people\u2019 has landed me in some great positions with regards to more grants to write and potential funding\/collaborative opportunities!
