We had the pleasure of meeting our third cohort of SoCoBio students at the DTP’s induction event at Marwell Hotel last week (4-6 October 2022). Over the course of two days students met the leadership team, learnt about the DTP training opportunities, had an introduction to reflexivity in research, found out about Data Management, visited Marwell Zoo, and spent a lot of time getting to know each other. In addition, the students had an interdisciplinary challenge delivered to them by Prof Geraint Thomas, Deputy Director of London Interdisciplinary Doctoral Training Partnership (LIDo). The evenings involved more getting to know each other activities with a formal dinner one night and a creative activity and quiz delivered by two DTP wellbeing champions, Molly Rutt and Jamie Thomas (2021 SoCoBio students), on the second evening.
