Dr-SameraSuleman

Currently a proof reader and editor, I would describe myself as a book worm, an articulate word smith and a poet. Having completed my PhD from the University of Sheffield in 2010, I’m a research scientist by profession (to many of you, a lab rat). My area of research was investigating peroxisomal biogenesis and migration in Aspergillus nidulans. Many areas such as cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, biotechnology, biochemistry and microbiology were covered. Of course, research is my passion but a greater passion exists within me for writing. I didn’t actually realise this until I got to the stage of writing my PhD thesis. Having written a word document of experiments done 4 years before of over 100,000 words, I would say my forte was discovered along with the existence of a memory, I never thought I had. I managed to squirm my way out of a viva in 2 hours (as opposed the average of 4 hours) and had my thesis returned without having to do any corrections, major or minor. For all of you who are thinking…’and?’ Well, to complete a viva for a doctoral degree in 2 hours is a rare occurrence and to pass a document of such length with no corrections an even bigger reason to pop open those champagne bottles (only I never drink). You’re probably wondering, ‘so what’…well, you’re right; this really shouldn’t interest you (unless you want to give me a job).

So continuing about me (seen as though this part should be all about me me me me). I am a keen writer, love to pick up on errors and find ways of constructing better sentences. It sometimes annoys my friends, sometimes they’re grateful. I love reading anything (interesting, of course). I seem to have an encyclopaedia growing in my brain containing facts and information I never thought I would remember, but they come useful in a conversation.

I enjoy travelling and sitting in the sun listening to Bob Marley, Lauryn Hill, and Eddie Grant (I only actually listen to one of his songs). On rainy days I enjoy curling up with a good book in a coffee shop. I have a kitten and she’s 9 weeks now, Nunu, and I spend a lot of time making little dresses for her.

I love writing poems, my friends think they’re rather morbid and dreary, but that’s probably because they are.

I hope you all enjoy reading my hubs.

Happy hubbing.
