Last week we had a wonderful session with a vibrant and animated conversation about the stresses and strains of research at our first ‘Researcher’s Anonymous’ meeting, We discussed looking out for your well-being throughout research and how we might form supportive and collaborative interdisciplinary networks, all over a well earned glass of wine – We’d like to thank everyone for a fun and convivial evening! We will have future ‘Researcher’s Anonymous’ meetings alongside the Rough and Ready series which will explore many themes pertinent to early career researchers and the world of academia – if you have an idea for a workshop get in touch!

NEXT UP! We return to our Rough and Ready Research Share format. We are always looking for contributors to get in touch so please give us a shout if you would like to present. It’s not too late if you would like to go for it this coming Tuesday! Be brave! [Contact: Laura.Bowie@ed.ac.uk]

We are currently getting ready for the next session which will be on the 25th OCTOBER – pop it in your diaries! We will announce our speakers on Friday. so watch this space!

Til’ Friday, take care!

Becky, Laura and Roxana.
