Research Wellness Retreat in Wales

I was invited to run a Research Wellness Retreat for staff at Cardiff Metropolitan University and Bristol Speech and Language Therapy Research Unit. The retreat was held at Cardiff Metropolitan University and during the afternoon we enjoyed St Fagans National Museum of History in Cardiff https://museum.wales/stfagans/about/

The following people were able to attend: Prof Yvonne Wren, Dr Robert Mayr, Prof Fei Zhao, Dr Rhonwen Lewis, Dr Sam Burr, Ria Bayliss, Annie Li Jiaying, and Charlotte McCarthy. We were also pleased to welcome Dr Rhiannon Phillips (Deputy Associate Dean for Research, Cardiff Met) for part of the day.

The next week I also had wonderful individual meetings with Dr Rhonwen Lewis, Annie Li Jiaying, Anna Kowalska, Charlie Strutt, and Caitlin Holmes.
