Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

I do hope that everyone in the North Pole is doing great! I am afraid it’s this time of the year again that we need to discuss about my presents. Before that please allow me to briefly present some of the aspects of my life. Yeeeeees Santa, I know that you don’t have time for that, blah, blah…. I promise it won’t take long! So make yourself a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows and sit comfortably.

You are probably aware that I am still in London and I am doing much better than last year as I have made lots of new friends.

Oh procrastination…my old friend…

Hello! I’m Kayleigh, one of the new StratiGrad PhD students at Imperial and this is my first post… You’ll have to bear with me as I don’t blog, barely tweet and have only just set up a LinkedIn account. But that’s ok because ‘I wanted a challenge’…she said! I have ventured back into the world of academia after spending three amazing years training to be a Clinical Biochemist at Guy’s & St. Thomas’ Hospital.

I’ve signed up for a three year PhD on the StratiGrad programme trying to identify novel biomarkers of ovarian cancer! That’s the broad title anyway, and I will split my time between a group at the IRDB, that’s Institute of Reproductive Biology at Hammersmith Hospital and here in the CSM – Section of Computational and Systems Medicine at South Kensington.
