His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine. 157121114732

Meli (she/her) @melimoi.bsky.social · 31/07/2025We've also announced CHESS OF THE WIND and I can't express how absolutely excited I am to be presenting this film as part of the festival. It is unmissable. 031

Meli (she/her) @melimoi.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Turned 38 this weekend. Ate cake. Drank cocktails. Shouted at the TV during Eurovision. Witnessed shop lifting in the local shop. A standard birthday. 000

Meli (she/her) @melimoi.bsky.social · 01/04/2025I'm 38 this year and now proudly referring to myself as middle-aged and everyone is like "No! You can't say that!" Girl, I love the idea of being middle-aged. I live for it. There's nothing shameful about it. This is my peak. 1120
Meli (she/her) @melimoi.bsky.social · 14/03/2025They're also the same people who will stand up the minute the plane touches down because they can't bear to be onboard that long. Maybe you could stay seated 5 minutes more if you didn't needlessly board the plane half an hour early, I don't know. 010
Meli (she/her) @melimoi.bsky.social · 11/03/2025I always think about my therapist's therapist. With the ginormous amount of societal anxiety and depression I dump on her on a weekly basis, in addition to my regular mental ills, there's no way it doesn't affect her too. 110

Meli (she/her) @melimoi.bsky.social · 17/02/2025One more reason for me to be glad to be talentless. I have enough unflattering pictures of myself as is. I don't have to worry about getting professional ones 😂 010
Meli (she/her) @melimoi.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Perhaps an unfair assumption but as I see advertised salaries elsewhere being downgraded, I wonder if the same thing goes here, and unfortunately, at some point, you get what you pay for. I may be wrong, of course. But I also know plenty of photographers who do a fab job in those conditions. 100

Meli (she/her) @melimoi.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Listen, I know the sector is struggling but advertising a Marketing *Manager* position at £26k - pro-data may I add - is absolutely criminal. 120
