Are you missing our annual flagship event as much as we are? Join us for our new weekly Poster Club, where you can network with your peers and discuss the latest research and innovation.
We are delighted to be launching the poster club as a way of showcasing a selection of the excellent abstracts submitted to Annual Conference 2020. Taking inspiration from our popular Journal Club, the Poster Club encourages interaction from anyone interested in taking part and gives you the opportunity to ask questions, share knowledge and network online. Participating in the Poster Club is easy, you don’t need to be a social media expert to get involved.

What if I’ve never used Twitter before?
Twitter is a micro-blogging site that allows users to post anything and everything in 280 characters or less. If you are interested in what someone is saying you can ‘follow’ them for regular updates, which will then fill up your ‘timeline’. If you don’t have a Twitter account, it’s quick and simple to make one. Simply visit www.twitter.com and click ‘Sign Up’. From here you can create your account.
How can I join in?
Participating is really simple! All you need is a Twitter account. Log in at the specified date and time, search for #BSR20 to see what others are saying and join in by sharing your own comments. Don’t forget to add the hashtag #BSR20 to the end of your tweet so that others can see what you say.
