Weekly social?
Socialising can be productive too! Have a project to work on? Supervision work you want to finish off? We know its difficult to focus when there are other people around, but if you want to chat and not feel guilty to stay attached to coursework, we are thinking of providing the space for casual work. Stay in tune!
