Coffee and Careers webinar series for early career researchers
Our ‘Coffee and Careers’ webinar series is designed to give early career researchers (ECRs) the opportunity to hear from more senior researchers working in CF research about key decisions, advice, and pitfalls in their career so far.
The webinars have been co-developed with Dr Iain Stewart, Advanced Research Fellow in Statistics at Imperial College London. Iain is co-investigator and ECR development lead for our GRAMPUS-CF SRC. Iain will be facilitating the series which is open to all early career researchers.
At each webinar Nottingham-based PhD student Arantxa Recto will be opening the conversation with the researcher, asking her questions, and those from the audience.
The next webinar will be on Friday 2 May at 11am, where Arantxa will be in conversation with Professor Jo Fothergill, Professor in Medical Microbiology, University of Liverpool. Register now to join the webinar, and put your own questions to Jo.

What is CF?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition affecting more than 11,000 people in the UK. You are born with CF and cannot catch it later in life, but one in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing.
