Annual IMS Away Days for IMS staff and students take place each Michaelmas term. The format varies: every other year, the day involves researchers and students from across the Institute of Metabolic Science, with postdoctoral fellows and students presenting talks and posters alongside established investigators; in alternate years the Away Day is devoted to MRL researchers, who present their work to members of our Scientific Advisory Board.
In December 2016 we gathered for a retreat, which included updates from our own admin and services staff, viewpoints from University and Biomedical campus services, an informative talk on pre-prints from Prof Alfonso Martinez-Arias and an amusing retrospective from Emeritus Prof Ken Siddle.
