It’s fair to assume that social media probably isn’t going to go away any time soon. Which means whether you love it or hate it, it’s a good idea to start thinking about how you can use it to support your work and raise your profile – especially if you’re an early career researcher. Read this hugely valuable advice by our guest blogger Dr Emma Yhnell...
As scientists ourselves, we know how daunting it feels when you embark upon on your first PhD. Especially right at the beginning, when everything can feel totally new and overwhelming.
To show you just how much support there is for you in the life science community from your peers (and from us!) we’ve put together The Life Scientists’ Guide for New PhD Students. Here, you’ll find the fantastic advice our fellow scientists have shared with us, as well as a few tips from our personal experience.

Do you get in a muddle with molarity calculations? Don't worry - help is at hand with the Hello Bio Molarity Calculator...
Throughout our careers, and in our lives, advice and encouragement from people we look up to and admire is often our biggest motivator. We spoke to Hello Bio's team, advisory board, and customers to ask them: what's the best advice you've ever been given?
We know how difficult it is starting a PhD, or as a post-doc in a new lab. There is much to remember, new protocols, new systems and new techniques to get to grips with. We asked a sample of researchers from a variety of labs - including PhD students, post-docs and lab heads to tell us about their experiences, and the mistakes that are most commonly made. Here's what they said...
