Introduction time. 👋🏾 My name is Izzy. I’m a science nerd - working on a range of things including building microscopes, looking at living things, writing code and leading a talented team of researchers. I currently live in sunny Sheffield (🇬🇧. via 🇱🇰, 🇳🇿 & 🇦🇺 ) with my other half @JessGifkins whom i share so many passions incl Latin dance, social justice & the outdoors. As a 🏳️‍⚧️ woman of Asian descent, I also have a few things to say about Equality, Inclusion & Diversity… also Bounty chocolate.

@i_jayas Welcome! Would love to connect! I'm Puerto Rican living in Liverpool and love to keep dancing salsa but adding samba and Capoeira when I can. I also work in EDI ... freely now that I've left academia! 👋

@Luna Hi Luna! 👋🏾Great to hear from you! Sounds like a lot we have in common with you, including Alt-Ac! @JessGifkins is a more expert dancer than me. Our fav is zouk lambada, and can salsa to save a life 😅💃🏽. We used to do lots of social dance when we lived in Australia. Academia and disability have largely got in our way in recent years.

@i_jayas @JessGifkins Following Jess now! I feel like even listening to these Latin/Afro beats is just invigorating! I listen right before any big event I have to do 💃

@JessGifkins @Luna Our playlists are very lambazouk/kizomba…. Pretty much all of them!
