The war rages on. I'm still here, relatively speaking. The intense kick of potent antibiotics has preserved my existence - for now. My groin abscesses are inflamed ropes of snakes festering beneath my skin. I hate life with #HidradenitisSuppurativa. Sepsis is hell. It never ends.

Also doing some #introduction here:

I’m Leonie, a doctoral student in (regenerative) neuroscience. I have helped developing a high-throughput lineage tracing method for developing tissue and with that studied the embryonic mouse brain. Currently I’m exploring the potential of stem cells in the spinal cord to heal traumatic injury.

I’m hard of hearing 🦻 which makes participating in science communication all the harder. And communities like mastodon all the more important ♥️ #DisabledInScience
