Having finished my last rotation with Dr John Holloway, I have now started a new one with Dr Donna Davies, Dr Hans Micheal and Dr Susan Wilson. My last project was based a lot on data base searches to find information on my gene of interest. This project is looking at structural changes. This means that I am staining slides. I am working mainly in Dr Susan Wilson's lab with her team. This includes John, Helen, Ron and Jenny. I am really enjoying my time in this new lab and I also have a bit of office space in the Brooke Lab upstairs where I am siting next to Gemma. This is an added bonus as before I did not get a lot of chances to meet up with her as we were both so busy.

Dr John Holloway has recently been promoted to 'reader'. He took all the lab out for lunch and sent me an invitation to join them. We had a lovely time and it was good to meet up with the people in the lab again.

We have begun our next set of journal clubs on the topic of respiratory diseases. I have found these extremely interesting and feel that I now have a better understanding of how patients can be affected by the condition that they have. I am looking forward to learning more in this field and getting a better all round understanding.

I hope everyone has a good easter, I know Gemma will as she is going on holiday, lucky her!
