I sleep five or six hours a night, then crash at the weekend. I’m learning to eat properly and exercise. I relax by watching silly sitcoms like ‘Scrubs’ and ‘How I Met Your Mother.’ Elise Andrew Read Quote
To be honest, what I struggled with in my degree is what’s so helpful when it comes to social media in that I lack focus. I’ll start reading about evolutionary biology and end up on quantum physics. While that makes writing your dissertation very difficult, for a page like IFLS, that’s amazing because I get a wide range of everything. Elise Andrew Read Quote
I’m not a model or an actress; I’m just a 23 year old who likes to talk about science. Why does what I look like matter so much? Elise Andrew Read Quote
My attention is constantly being caught! I’m constantly learning, constantly becoming fascinated by new things – I’m lucky that I read incredibly quickly and absorb a lot of information easily, because otherwise I don’t think I’d ever get my head out of a book! Elise Andrew Read Quote
My degree is in biology, and it will always be my first love. Evolution, ecology, genetics – they were the textbooks I was devouring as a teenager, and it was there that my love of science grew. Elise Andrew Read Quote
Sometimes I worry that science communication is just preaching to the choir, speaking to the converted. Social media gives us an amazing opportunity to reach new people. Elise Andrew Read Quote
I was absolutely astonished by an onslaught of comments expressing their absolute shock that IFLS is run by a woman. Elise Andrew Read Quote
It’s a sad day when a woman being funny and interested in science is considered newsworthy. Elise Andrew Read Quote
