Thursday 10th – Friday 11th June 2021
The LifETIME Twitter Conference is 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 will be asked to present 3 tweet during the two day event.
To join the discussion please search for the hashtag #futureleadersinregenmed to see all posts that are related to the conference.
