In academia your to-do list is a never ending cycle and at times it’s difficult to judge progress. Writing a paragraph is progress. Reading 10 pages is progress. Taking a break is progress. Surviving is progress.

Did you attend the Festival of Research? We'd love to hear your feedback. This was the first event (hopefully of many!) and we want them to improve year on year! surveymonkey.com/r/FestivalOfRe…

We love this initiative!

Thank you so much to everyone who came to our first #FestivalOfResearch. We could not have run the event without the fantastic presenters, panels, workshop leaders, caterers, and of course everyone who attended. We had a brilliant time and hope you did too!

@ResearchVannin thank you to all who organised the first #festivalofresearch@ResearchVannin Great day, great venue, great company and food and coffee excellent,.

Great experience and fun first #FestivalofResearch for the Isle of Man

@ResearchVannin @iomdhsc @IOMTherapies Thanks for having me and for a great day! Encouragement from @becky_lowey has been fab 🙌🏻 clinicians don’t always find standing up talking easy 🤦🏻‍♀️

And the results are in!!! In third place, but also winner of the people's choice: Richard Sille Second: Katie Taylor Winners: Ruari Donald and Antonia Molyneux

The judging was tough! @allinson_alex speaks on behalf of the panel to feed back to the presenters (with constructive suggestions because that's what being a researcher is all about)!

We've finally reached the end of the #FestivalOfResearch @becky_lowey is handing over to the three minute thesis judges!

Hearing from @LydiaBarbara3 and Alastair Robertson in the Digital and Engineering stream of the #festivalofresearch @ResearchVannin

The fabulous three minute thesis contestants - we've learned a lot very quickly!

Three minute thesis is underway! @Chriscallow1968 kicks us off with his talk about Tholtans.

A talk now from @JaneCCowley of @iomdhsc and @IOMTherapies about research with an impact on patient care (and cost of care too!). #EvidencedBasedPractice at #FestivalOfResearch

Writing Bees by @howard_lyz from @KeyllDarree Helping students share learning and decrease knowledge gaps.

What does e-learning mean to me? ‘Comparative health care’ was one of my favourite MSc modules @howard_lyz @KeyllDarree @ResearchVannin #FestivalOfResearch

Suzi Heslan from @manxheritage giving a great introduction to the iMuseum resources!

Does history have all the answers to the present problems? No, but they're happy to admit it doesn't!

#research is good but we need the #network to get the best #results and #growth

@IsobelBloor @BangorUni Large scale habitat maps, but smaller scale mapping is underway! Helps protect vulnerable species as well as telling us more about the Island's marine environment.

The marine biological station may have closed in 2007, but @IsobelBloor from @BangorUni is showing us that there's still plenty of research going on in the area! #FestivalOfResearch
