#explorathon

Do you like to explore? I came to this T on one of my DoorDash runs and had to pause to snap this photo. I’ve seen so many interesting parts of Tucson. And I heard that Old Tucson Studios has a new lease holder. I’m looking forward to what I will manifest in regards to working with the new tenant. Happy Monday everyone! #explorathon #tintheroad #mountainbackground #cloudlover #cloudstagram #cloudcheck #blueskiesandsunshine #arizonaadventures #arizonasadventures #arizonaadventure #desertadventuresinarizona #mellownomadicadventures #mellownomadic #nomadicadventures #nomadicmovement #weirdosunite #roadtrippingacrossmerica #roadtrippingusa #minivan #minivanlife #minivanadventures #followmynomadicjourney #fit4fam #fit4fun #fit4expedition #vanlife #vanlifediaries #minivanconversion #minivancamper #minivanliving (at Tucson) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbYTWp_vG_E/?utm_medium=tumblr

A great pleasure for me as a scientist is to have the opportunity to inspire and encourage a love of science in others. For this reason, I wholeheartedly embrace all outreach activities offered to me. In September 2016, Glasgow University was to host a science spectacular as part the National Explorathon and the larger European-wide European Researchers’ Night. With my punnet of strawberries, GFP (green fluorescent protein) expressing Drosophila flies and fellow nEUROSTRESSPEPers in tow, I was ready to hit the Glasgow Science Centre to tell the world (or at least visitors to the Centre) all about pest insects and the research of nEUROSTRESSPEP. Whether chatting to the scientifically minded staff at the centre, or to the adorable toddlers fascinated by the creepy-crawlies, the evening proved to be thoroughly enjoyable and a roaring success. I am already eagerly awaiting next year’s event.

Can you tell I was much excited? #explorathon
