The Little Things Matter

Tales of everyday life, the black and white of science coloured by some light-hearted touches of imagination!  

As a pathologist, you quickly learn to appreciate details – the seemingly insignificant and subtle changes that characterise the world under the microscope. Nothing can ever be dismissed as unimportant, mundane, or routine; you are alive to the possibility of the unexpected. It changes your perspective forever. The world, when viewed through a similar lens assumes new proportions; it’s fleeting moments, trifling details, and its brief encounters with creatures small (and big) become both unique and rewarding.

Welcome to Tales of Ipsa! Your place to see the special in the everyday. If a chord is struck or a memory jogged do comment.
