I wrote a wee article on linkedin. If you have any involvment in academic societies, community or member engagement, & outreach -this article might be of interest. Academic societies ≠ brand/industry, & the media strategies we use need to reflect this. linkedin.com/pulse/social-m…

I visited sanza.co.uk & went overboard buying "a taste of home" (Aus + NZ) to be delivered to me at home here in the UK! I'm most excited for the NZ marmite, and the cans of creamed corn! Would be even better if I could order my friends, family & dog for delivery!

I wrote on a post for @ISSIDOfficial on life as an ECR - check it out below.
