Social media @nature.com. Has been known to enjoy a showtune. Scottish. She/her. Views are very much my own.

Parked deep in not knowing why I continue to make life so hard for myself, thank you, and yourself?
I should have thrown in a cervical screening to really complete the set

I’ve been really hard on myself and expecting too much of myself recently. But hey, I’ve never accidentally added a journalist to a secret WhatsApp chat with my war plans.
Does the lad think he's in his own game of monopoly or something?

It turns out that 2 months after ending a relationship is the exact right time to discover Chappell Roan

With apologies to all who’ve followed me from the Nature starter pack, this account is going to be all about #Traitors and my mental state post-recent break up with long term partner. I’m in the angry empowerment phase, thank you so much for asking.

Got some blood tests yesterday and my iron is a bit on the low side. Googled “foods with high iron”, and for some reason google thinks I urgently need to know the iron content of a hash brown. Google doesn’t think much of my choices, does it
