Have really enjoyed working with wonderful students to keep writing flowing during unpredictable covid-times. Thank you to all the other PGR facilitators and students for keeping them running!

[Kelly-Lou Preece @Preece_Kelly]

I do not have words for @AbbieOBri1's contribution to the PGR community. The impact of our writing groups during Covid 19 has been incredible, and it's all down to amazing PGRs like Abbie.

[University of Exeter Doctoral College @ExeterDoctoral]

And finally a HUGE congraulations and thank you to @AbbieOBri1 who has delivered a whopping 50 writing groups supporting our PGRs.

@RussellGinny Congratulations! The best of luck with the teaching at SPA.

@mervemolla @ExeterDoctoral Well done Merve! Good to have you onboard! :)

[Abbie O'Brien @AbbieOBri1]

Taking action is vital. As mentioned throughout today's talks- it is time to stop, as white people, waiting for black people to fix issues of racism. Time, for once, to use our white privilege for good not evil and to get black voices heard. #BlacklivesmatterHE

[Abbie O'Brien @AbbieOBri1]

@AndrewBGrace @Wonkhe Yes, we shall have to have a catch up! Very thought-provoking. I believe there is a recording available afterwards as well so I can hopefully forward this to you

[Abbie O'Brien @AbbieOBri1]

Logged in and ready for taking action to tackle racism across HE with @Wonkhe - amazing to see so many people in attendance and this demonstrated by knowing the weather across the country! #blacklivesmatterHE

[Abbie O'Brien @AbbieOBri1]

@Preece_Kelly @Wonkhe @ExeterDoctoral Yes of course, would be more than happy to! Very insightful event with some amazing speakers.

[Abbie O'Brien @AbbieOBri1]

@JoSutherst @ExeterDoctoral @UofEHumanities @UniofExeter Well done Jo! :) Deserved!
