I enjoyed being a bit of an influencer with my social media takeover for #RaAM17. It was such a great conference and I’m looking forward to keeping up connections made between postgrads as the postgraduate liaison

At #RaAM17 @raammetaphor.bsky.social, I was pleased to present, on behalf of our team, one study from the
4D Picture project, on “Metaphors, identities, and gender in online interactions about cancer”.
It was my first in-person RaAM, and I loved every bit of it.
