Loving the opening session of #DSTEM this morning.

Prof @debi_ashenden sharing the Japanese concept of “nemawashi” - quietly laying the foundations for change by talking to others and gathering support.

Preparation for collaboration is key and so important across #STEM research

Today's adventures in MS Teams miscaptioning- "astrophysicist" came out as "restaurant physicist"! Maybe the restaurant at the end of the universe? Thoughts @spacejayk ?
