y to interact with at said meeting. In certain instances to discuss collaborations, in others to establish international networks – irrespective of the topic, they are opportunities I otherwise might not have had were it not for my attendance at, and more importantly the nature of, the workshop hosted by the organisers in UCD.
In closing, Prof. Kennedy and Dr. Reynolds, and all associated parties that made the workshop what it was, deserve big plaudits for what ultimately transpired to be an incredibly productive and enjoyable experience, and I would strongly recommend early career researchers target these types of meetings in their own respective fields. Such were the benefits, that in Dr. Reynold’s closing address in which she detailed the future of the workshop and suggested it may change from bi-annual to annual, I couldn’t help but find myself thinking ‘I hope so’.
