Next event
On Tuesday 1 October between 11:00 and 17:00 (drop in any time) at the University of Westminster in central London, we will be starting a new project. The Bioladies Collection: A Portfolio of Portraits Documenting the Bioladies Network will comprise a series of images which will be taken by BioLad Ram Shergill to document our wonderful members (BioLads and BioLadies) and sectors of the bioeconomy. Don’t miss your once in a lifetime opportunity to be snapped by our famous biolad. It will be highly enjoyable for those who can attend; those who cannot make it on that day will be informed of other dates for the project to continue the project. We look forward to seeing you! Please contact ramshergill@hotmail.com for further details and to confirm your attendance.
Later on Tuesday 1 October, also at the University of Westminster in central London, we will be holding a Mentoring workshop – please note that this has been postponed from 24 September. More details and tickets can be found on Eventbrite. Please do register and add it to your calendars so that you can find out why mentoring is important in all stages of study and career and then meet some of our more experienced Bioladies and lads and ask them any question for 5 minutes!
