After some delicious pastries provided by @aberuni.bsky.social, we started workshop 2 on mentorship by Stéphanie Swarbreck and Conference goals by @ecarmosilva.bsky.social. A challenging aspect of the workshop, ECRs embraced being thrown into different groups in order to discuss topics.

This week, I found myself in my proudest moment yet - Implementing the @monogram-uk.bsky.social ECR pre-conference workshop. I really underestimated how it would feel to accomplish something like this, but I was in awe of the community we developed over the day.
