'Attending the BPS Annual Conference in Brighton was a fantastic experience. Presenting my poster and discussing my findings with students and professionals from all walks of psychology was a really gratifying culmination to a year of hard work. It was also great to be able to attend various lectures and workshops and to be surrounded by so many interesting people. The highlight for me was definitely hearing Professor Martin Seligman, founding father of positive psychology, give his keynote address.' - Renate Fromson, Medical Student UCL
