CNBP LEGACY

This social aspect is not limited to conferences. Because CNBP is across 5 campuses, different labs also prioritise social time together. And, by request of one of our early career researchers, we have created events specifically for early career researchers - no bosses allowed - where they can talk about the issues that most affect them... From day one, the CNBP has incorporated a highly social and inclusive aspect to our annual conferences. As people arrive from across the nation, we start with some team building and ensure the conference includes a half-day event that had nothing to do with the science. These activities are about getting to know each other and becoming comfortable in each other's company. We aim to get everyone involved - so that means different activity options. One year, our team had the choice of going swimming with tuna or enjoying a wine-tasting tour. Because we are connected by research, conversations naturally drift to science, but in a less structured way..
