Delighted to be attending the UKRI’s Research Leadership Symposia on behalf of @behaviourresuk.bsky.social and @ucl-targ.bsky.social connecting with experts across the sciences (it’s cold up north)

This starter pack is the beginning of a collection of people who run major @ukri.org and civil service projects across the sciences and humanities- follow us and let me know if you want to join us! go.bsky.app/3HUp1di

Back here as I remember the power of connection after a week spent with research leaders. Hopefully this one won’t be spoilt by a knock-off Bond villain…
