One question I get asked a lot by colleagues and students is how big should their image be? So that’s me! I’d love to hear about you – what field of science do you work in? Are you an undergraduate, PhD student, post-doc? How do you use Photoshop in your work?Ī figure sized to A5 dimensions fits neatly on an A4 page with room for margins and caption. I am now back where I started at the University of Tasmania but now I’m applying my experience in molecular and cellular biology to the field of respiratory medicine. However I continued my interest in Photoshop and continued to run tutorials for the students and post-docs in the department.įinally, last year I left London and returned back home to my native Tasmania, with my husband and two small boys, ready to continue my academic career. The next few years were punctuated by breaks for maternity leave when my two sons were born and a hiatus from academic research while I took up a technical position that better enabled me to concentrate on my growing family. By the time I completed my PhD and embarked on post-doctoral research in the same department, I was running regular Photoshop for Scientists tutorials. I continued to develop my Photoshop skills and soon found that my colleagues and fellow students were coming to me for advice.

With two valuable years of lab experience under my belt I began to look around for an inspiring PhD project and eventually found one at King’s College London studying tooth development. During this time I got my first real experience of using Photoshop – mostly with immunoflourescence staining – and I was hooked. This resulted in studying quite a bit of botany as the botany department at UTAS specialised in genetics – and left me with a lifelong love of Tasmanian native plants and the ability to identify several species of eucalypt by smell alone! However I was always more interested in genetics as it related to human disease so for my honours research project I moved into neuroscience and studied the potential for regeneration of injured spinal cord neurons.Īfter graduation I moved from Tasmania to London with my English fiancé (now husband) and, after a bit of time spent in temporary work to fulfil visa requirements, got a position as a Research Technician at University College London in a group studying calcium channels, particularly related to epilepsy. Throughout my undergraduate career at the University of Tasmania I continually made whichever choices gave me the most opportunity to learn about genetics and molecular biology. (At around the same time I was reading Jurassic Park – before the film was made – and that just excited me about the potential of DNA even more!). Something in my head just clicked and I knew that’s what I wanted to do. I clearly remember the high school science unit when we learnt about Mendelian genetics and the basics of meiosis, mitosis and DNA replication. I started out in Neuroscience, did my PhD in Developmental Biology and am now doing a post-doc in Respiratory Medicine – but what all these areas have in common is Molecular Biology and that is my first and continuing fascination.

My name is Jo-Maree Courtney – I’m never quite sure how to describe myself beyond “Scientist”. Today I thought I would tell you a bit about me, my career in science so far and the reasons why I started this blog. And if you are a current subscriber to Photoshop for Scientists, please consider subscribing to Come Science With Me.Ī little bit about me!

I’ve been dabbling with the blog for a while and now I’m launching it with a full year’s plan of monthly focus areas (this month, November, we are all about graphic design). It aims to cover those skills that we all seem to need but never actually get taught. The goal of Come Science With Me is to “Help scientists do science”. So a little while ago I started a new blog called Come Science With Me.

While I am still passionate about teaching scientists how to create fantastic images with Photoshop, I really wanted to broaden my scope to include other types of image manipulation software (such as ImageJ and GIMP) as well as other practical advice on making life in science easier. It has been quite some time since I updated this blog – partly because life just gets in the way but partly because I was finding the focus on Photoshop a bit too limiting.
