I’ve reached the career stage where my days are spent writing funding applications and barely tolerating unnecessary meetings 🤷🏻‍♀️ #academiclife #research

We're hosting our first AMRG academic writing day today! We've started the day off with some clear goals, and have a schedule planned of 4 (silent!) working blocks with built in breaks ! We're hoping that the group accountability and dedicated time will pay off in productivity!

Another fab #earlycareerresearcher day run by Dunhill Medical Trust at @healthfoundation.bsky.social with the UK Ageing Research Funders Forum 🥳 fascinating talks bookended by tours de force Prof Sir Chris Whitty and Prof Cath Green 💪🏻
