[ASA] Sydney ECR Writing Session

[Andy Green]

Calling all Sydney ECRs (and any visitors),

The AAO is hosting a "Writing Session" next Wednesday and Thursday (10 and 11 September). The two goals of the workshop are to give ECRs a chance for some distraction free writing or other research with an opportunity for friendly peer feedback, and to help get to know one another. Most of the time will be quiet and informal, with it left to the participants as how to best spend their time. Some breakout rooms will be available for discussion. There will also be a group dinner on Thursday evening open to all ECRs and their plus ones (no need to have come to the writing workshop to come to the dinner).
