Our founder, Dr. Christopher Haggarty-Weir, just today formally received his #MBA from @UoPeople! Whilst having completed the degree in January, due to #COVID19 there has of course been a delay in actually receiving it. #uni #business #university #management

It was a pleasure today to give a seminar on #scientific #entrepreneurship & #altac #careers to #postdocs my #PhD alma mater, @EdinburghUni @EdinburghChem! Of course, due to the #COVID19 pandemic this had to be done via telecon, but we made it work with very few issues. #STEM
