This has been sat on my computer since Friday and I've been meaning it post it, but got distracted by other things. It seems appropriate to post it now as I had quite a non-worky day, I had loads of end of term things to finish off, and managed to catch up with old friends both at lunch and at dinner.
Also, if anyone hasn't seen it, I wrote a post for the Lab Rat a few days ago.

Last night was the lab Christmas dinner, so I thought I’d follow it up with a piece on the social side of my life. It is true that biological research can be quite demanding in terms of time. Sometimes you just have to be in the lab late night, early morning or at the weekends, to make sure the animals or cells you are working with stay healthy and to collect data. Thus it is very important to balance this with a healthy social life, something I have not always be great at.
