Description
There is a thriving OU postgraduate research community working at Walton Hall: It is a diverse cohort covering all academic disciplines, but has one important feature in common– they all like CAK...E! For the past two years, the Graduate School (GS) has hosted its very own ‘Bake off’ inspired ‘Bake My Research’ competition to harness this confectionary enthusiasm. But what’s baking got to do with research and why does the GS support this cake-fest? Well the GS coordinate skills training for new researchers that helps them get their research underway and supports them throughout their time at the OU and into employment beyond. The ‘Bake My Research’ competition requests PGRs to make a bake that represents their research– a cakey exercise in Communication skills! This session introduces two of the winners from this year’s competition: David Pegg and Freya Wise who will talk about their bakes and their research.
