Thank you to all the @BES_TLSIG workshop participants at #BES2023. We had a really interesting conversation about the cost of living crisis and the impact on our ecology students. We also discussed some very useful solutions which we will summarise for an article for The Niche.
We are looking forward to the #BES2023 Annual Meeting next week. Please come and meet us at this workshop, at the 'Meet the SIGs' session or join our social event on Weds 13th. See you in Belfast!
