Join Dr Elly Gaunt and Dr Andrew Bosworth for an Early Career Microbiologists (ECM) Forum session all about our early career researchers and the challenges they've faced over the past year. Joining us will be Dr Jessica Blair, PI and Dr Jack Ferguson, Post-doctoral researcher, both from the University of Birmingham, Ainsley Beaton, who recently completed her PhD at the University of Strathclyde after working in the Lighthouse Lab Network over the past year, and Dr Katie Wheat, Head of Engagement and Policy at Vitae, an organisation placing the support and welfare of researchers at its heart. Elly and Andrew will pose questions to the panel from early career scientists in the Society, to discuss the experiences many of us share about the impact of COVID-19 on our research and studies.
