Tutupa's Lab

Hello! My name is Giulia and I'm currently pursuing my PhD in Cell Biology/ Cancer Research in the UK. Expect to see some science, food and randomness!

You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. Fall in love with some activity and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about and it doesn't matter.

Richard P. Feynman

I want to live a thousand different lives, but I am unprepared for them all.

How do you conquer fear?

[tutupaslab]

I've been reading a lot lately, no sure why - i think i feel lonely, and it's a way for me to feel something; to imagine it is you hugging me, and kissing me, and telling me you love me, instead of one book character to another. I spend my days drunk on words, filling my mind with emotions and memories that are - and yet, are not - my own; and every time the story ends, i return to my own body and my own live, alone in this apartment. and i promise to hug you for minutes next time i see you, and to kiss you and make love to you. I promise myself to ask you to always hug me, and kiss me, and touch me, because i don't want to get lost in the mundanity of everyday life, and forget how utterly desolating it is to be without you.

“My fear of being real, of being seen, paralyzes me into silence. I crave the touch and the connection, but I’m not always brave enough to open my hand and reach out. This is the great challenge: to be seen, accepted, and loved, I must first reveal, offer, and surrender.”

— Anna White

Home, always.

It took me forever and a half, but I’ve finally gotten prints of all 12 of the current ‘Yzma is Best Princess’ series up in my etsy store.  Along with the original paintings, for the hard-core collectors out there :)

Please check them out or maybe even help spread the word.  Thank you!

underappreciated moments of life:

early mornings before everyone’s awake

unexpected sunshine

turning on the radio to hear the exact song that was stuck in your head

noticing flowers on the first day they bloom

sunday afternoon naps

ladybugs/butterflies landing on you

a friend telling you they love you for the first time

Best way to spend a Sunday, with pizza on the beach 😊

This was, without a doubt, my best run yet. Did a quick run to the lab, worked some and then started this run. Had no idea how long I wanted to run for, but straight from the start the run felt fast and effortless and I decided to roll with it and do a long loop. Proud of being able to bust out this run after a month of inconsistent running :)
