For me, it's a treat to come here. It's not like another thing on my agenda

I really look forward to the [workshops], and I think it's a nice space to have because post-doc can be quite isolating

[These exercises] move different parts of your brain

[The exercises] created a feeling of confidence in the room

The depth of the conversations: I never spoke with anyone from the department on that level

It made me think how to improve communication and how to be part of the community rather than just focus on yourself
