## Caption

There’s no way I could capture all I’ve done this year with just one picture per month 😱 but I have tried my best to pick out some wonderful moments with some wonderful people 🥰 and some accomplishments I’m so so proud of achieving this year 🤩
☀️
☀️
☀️
I think in terms of science communication my trip to JRC in Ispra Italy was the highlight of my career as a science communicator 🤓 The research that is done at the European Commissions research institute is world class 🤩 and their openness to share it with us was amazing and gives me so much hope for the future of science 🥰 
☀️

☀️
As far as personal achievements I’m so proud of me for running my second half marathon ever!! 🏃🏼‍♀️ and for improving my time since my first one 🤩 which was way back in 2018 👀 I think I like running 😅 but I’m in desperate need of some new running shoes 😂 so any recommendations are welcome! 😁
☀️

☀️
All in all it was a very successful year 🤩 and now I’m just hoping on some sunshine in the south of Spain so we can bring in the new year with a bang 🤩 fingers crossed!!!!
