Really eye opening and inspiring presentations this week at the #BioFutures Symposium - Very much the cutting edge of science, life, and beyond! @Bio_Buildings @NorthumbriaUni
Really enjoyed catching up with everyone at the @conceptionxtech Northern Hub event @TheCoreUK today. Loads of brilliant ideas and inspiring conversations 💡and fab to bring together the region’s universities, talents, and partners.
Amazing to hear all of the brilliant @igniteaccel alumni, and seeing this cohort pitch… Super inspiring!!
Amazing night at the @NorthumbriaSU Student Led Teaching Awards with my colleagues and friends. Absolutely honoured just to be nominated, let alone actually win an award! Thank you to all the students who make our job so rewarding 👏👏👏

Throughly enjoying a day trip down to @oxford_brookes for the @EEUK discussion day on the role and future of #incubators and #accelerators - So many brilliant ideas and innovative thoughts.
Really enjoying the @fintechnorth Newcastle conference today! So many interesting discussions about the region.
Gutted to not be in the room, but have to say the virtual stream has been excellent (as you’d expect!).

For the last 6 weeks I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with @FIRSTlifeskills helping deliver Lv1 Understanding Enterprise for a wonderful bunch of start up entrepreneurs. As if the experience wasn’t enjoyable enough they’ve gifted me beer too!
Really enjoying the @ACoaching session on “Coaching for Financial Awareness” today with @brianportnoy - so important to talk more openly about money, stop the stigma, and use it for good.
