From @york.ac.uk: Meet Dr @truzaar.bsky.social, Lecturer in Sustainability Management and participant on our Crucible programme.

"The greatest value of Crucible comes from the unexpected
connections and the ways your own
research will be stretched and transformed by
others."

From @sheffielduni.bsky.social: Hear from Prof Munitta Muthana, Professor of Immuno-oncology who took part in our first Equity in Leadership programme.

"For those from global majority backgrounds aspiring to leadership roles,
my advice is simple: embrace the Eil programme, engage in the activities, become part of the community. Surround yourself with mentors who can guide you, and always remember - you are not
alone."

"Postdoc-ing can be a lonely and uncertain

camaraderie."
