We learned a lot last year, mostly about the importance of mentoring, peer support, and the need for in person, informal networking. We don't know when life will resume as normal, but would you be interested in regional 'hub' meetings? For convos and coffee in 2022
We .hope everyone took something away from today, and thank you again to all of the speakers and support from @_BSDB_ @BritBiophysSoc @anat_soc @GenSocUK. Societies provide lots of career support and networking opportunities. We strongly encourage you to join relevant societies
