Today our team took a well-deserved trip to go hang out with alpacas down at the @bodleianlibraries.bsky.social Radcliffe Camera 🦙

As Very Serious Researchers in mental health, we're pleased to rate this experience a 10/10 for promoting staff #wellbeing & highly recommend nationwide implementation!
