I would say that the Research Training Project was definitely one of the best parts of the degree for me. Although the pandemic did pose some restrictions, I was still given the opportunity to explore a different area of interest of mine and develop an array of new technical skills. I am grateful to have had the chance to work with the supervisors I had (Dr Paul Roach and Dr Pooja Goddard) and others that I was introduced to during the project (Dr Rebecca Grant). Their help and support did not just start and end with the project, but it continued beyond that, providing encouragement and advice for steps beyond the MSc and there was always a great push for both physical and mental care, especially through the lockdown period.
