ECRCoffeeBreak

A virtual meet up to discuss the interpersonal aspects of an academic career

[ECRCoffeeBreak @ECRCoffeeBreak]

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

[ECRCoffeeBreak @ECRCoffeeBreak]

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

Great start to the @ECRCoffeeBreak virtual conference with the interdisciplinary session, chaired by @anat_soc president @NEAnatomist - highly pertinent to #anatomy #careerdevelopment

[ECRCoffeeBreak @ECRCoffeeBreak]

Remember to share your #ECRCoffeeBio. What is your scientific history? Where are your passions beyond your current subject?

[ECRCoffeeBreak @ECRCoffeeBreak]

Break out rooms are now open on the same link. Come and make friends

#WFH can be hard during lockdown. All attendees to our conference can bring your children for free.

We are exploring whether we can record the sessions so those of you who may have been distracted by your most important people can watch back
