#BFDG2025 people: Like at every conference, I will suggest a morning #run group: If you want to join a morning run tomorrow or Friday at 7:00, let me know. I suggest meeting at 7:00 at the intersection of Tyndall Ave and Woodland Rd. #myBFDG #BFDGECR

Hopefully the last session led by Alice Kininmonth has equipped you with knowledge, skills, and resources of identifying and using secondary data! The real-life cases given by Alice Porter and Rhiannon Armitage were also impressive 👏! Perfect wrap up of the day 🥳 #BFDGECR #myBFDG

Intensive but fun session! I am so impressed by the 4 pitchings 🤯 and the HydroCue hand-drawing poster lol!!!

BFDG ECR event @bfdgecr.bsky.social · Apr 23

Group work, brainstorm, 2min pitching, applause and Consumer Lab experts feedback, definitely highlights of our ECR event today! Thank you for ALL your contributions in developing your little project and hope you had fun! Congrats to the Breakfast bugs group - very well presented! #BFDGECR #myBFDG

Shihui Yu @shihuiyu.bsky.social · Apr 24

Building capability takes time - anything worth attaining will always require the student to be a novice before eventually becoming a master 👌✨️ but that takes time 😊!

BFDG ECR event @bfdgecr.bsky.social · Apr 23

A brilliant session with fascinating case studies of pathways to impact! We hope you are encouraged and inspired by Kourosh and Katie to be brave, be resilient, to think, to seek help, to start, to embrace the change, to dream big, to challenge yourself, and celebrate every success! #BFDGECR #myBFDG
