Congratulations to @DrRyder on a fantastic resource for PhD researchers "Keep Going a Viva Survivors Anthology" Pulls together sage & practical advice with more than a lovely dash of inspiration. Find out more: nathanryder.co.uk/
Welcome to our #TwitterTakeover for #Engage2021 with @NCCPE. In the next hour we'll be asking: who are we choosing to exclude from our events post #pandemic? We may not have the answers. We may find the answers uncomfortable. But we want to learn.

Popped into the biomaterials Q&A with @UoMMaterials @DiscovMaterials to find out how materials can be placed into the body to help prevent damage, for skin repair or even slow the ageing process. Mesmerised by the biogel activity #communityfestUoM #discovermaterials #3Dprinting

Snuck into the Let's Dance taster session with Culture Champion Hazel Roy. Loved every minute! We danced, grooved & swayed to animal themed tunes linked to the @McrMuseum 's collections. We ended with 'What a Wonderful World' - bliss ... #wellbeing #communityfestUoM

Things I've learnt this past year... never imagined I would be coordinating events from my kitchen table. But hey that means anyone can join us for #communityfestUoM from the comfort of their own homes, schools and favourite hangouts.

I've not run an in person face-to-face workshop since March 2020. Didn't realise how much I would miss post-it notes, sharpies & the smell of play-doh in the morning. 👇one of my favourite "research in play-doh" creations from an @UoM_MRC_DTP #publicengagement workshop.
