3rd ETN School Introduction to Academic Teaching took place in Manchester 11th-13th September 2017
"The 3rd ETN School was hosted by Prof. Donald Ward at the University of Manchester. He and his colleagues, Dr. Ruth Grady and Dr. Tracey Speake, introduced us to various aspects of "Good Teaching" and "Statistics" which will help us to avoid common mistakes in research and allow us to become better scientists. Besides, we had a lot of fun to test our team spirit and the competitiveness by playing the “Escape Room” game. In the last two days, in the Mid-Term meeting, every ESR presented the progress and the difficulties of their projects which showed the excellent and hard work of all of us within the last year. (Wolfgang Schlattl, ESR at S.A.F.AN.-BIOINFORMATICS)"
