<\/a>er conference, which the whole School turns out for. I have always really enjoyed this event, it\u2019s an opportunity to really find out what people around the School are doing. For the students transitioning from first to second year\u00a0this is often their first opportunity to present their research outside of their research group, and they get to do so in a friendly and supportive environment. There is a poster prize awarded democratically by attendees. The winner will hopefully be relaying their experiences of their research and the poster session on a future blog. The poster conference is followed by the Great Psychology Bake Off where not only do we get to carry on talking all things Psychology, but we get to do it over incredibly tasty cakes, biscuits and other treats. Finally on Thursday the Psychology Colloquia is taken up by research talks by those second years (going into third year) who weren\u2019t able to present earlier in the Summer. It is weeks like this that I am reminded why I agreed to take on the DDS role. There is nothing more satisfying than watching a new generation of researchers enjoying and talking about their work, and now I\u2019m paid to do it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
