For Graduate Students

Join us on Friday 6th Feb from 12-1 pm to hear Dr Jenny Power (Heriot-Watt University) share some of the personal and unexpected lessons she learnt while completing her PhD. We’ll then discuss how a “perfect PhD student” doesn’t exist. There will be a free sandwich lunch as always.
