Greg and Morgan had a fantastic time at the @DiabetesUK PhD Student Networking Day. A great opportunity to meet ECRs in the diabetes field, exchange ideas and develop essential skills in scientific and lay presenting.
It was so lovely to host our annual PhD Student Networking Day at our office today🥰. We felt so inspired and motivated by the energy and passion in the room, and we can’t wait to see more of your journeys as researchers💙. #diabetes #research
