Postgrad Labs

Who are we? 

We are postgraduate students who understand the challenges of postgrad researcher life!

We are a support system for other postgrad students who work in the lab, offering skills support and social activities. We want to help PGRs meet, make friends and help each other as we go through a challenging time and make it a lot more fun.

We will be continuing throughout the whole year, so membership will carry on through the summer.
