Thursday 10th – Friday 11th June 2021
The LifETIME Twitter Conference was an online event held entirely over Twitter using the hashtag #futureleadersinregenmed to bring together the LifETIME CDT cohort and the wider scientific community to share research, engage in scientific discussions and network.
The 2019 LifETIME students were asked to present 3 tweets during the two day event.
