Workshop feedback
- "I needed motivation to continue as I'm overwhelmed at the moment. Thank you – I got what I wanted to carry on."
- "Excellent workshop, very pleased with the speaker. The experience was vital to moving forward"
- "After being initially sceptical of the workshop being of use due to the disparate nature of research degree projects, it was interesting and useful to recognise we are all essentially in the same boat and share same anxieties and concerns. All in all, it is comforting to realise I am largely on track."
