The 2026 #SMaRtEN Conference was packed with amazing talks, professionals, and students. I was fortunate to present my work with @NurtureUni on academic self-efficacy, co-facilitate a networking event, and spend time my fellow ECR Group co-chairs. Looking forward to the next one!

Had an incredible time presenting at INSAR 2026. Not only my first time at the conference, but my first time in @Prague as well. Lots of engaging conversations, and of course lots of great food and sites to see!

A big thanks to @ARC_Cambridge for supporting my attendance!
