Our birthday party + awards ceremony – by Anna
Follow-up to TODAY – It's our birthday! First annual blogger/reader meetup – by Anna from PhD Life: a blog about the PhD student experience
Tuesday night was our fantastic, lovely birthday party and first annual awards ceremony!
After a more businessy meeting in the Research Exchange, we headed over to the Dirty Duck for drinks. The atmosphere was great - there were about 16 of us and we were all very merry as we pulled tables and chairs together. It was so nice seeing everyone and celebrating our fantastic blog!
And now, the awards! Drumroll please.....
Most Original Post: Lauren Thompson
For her fantastic post You're no fun anymore.
Peer Support Award: Ceren Kaya
For her great attitude, willingness to get involved, and always being the first to put comments and supportive feedback on others' posts!
Ceren wasn't there, so here is my extremely sophisticated photographic representation of what it would have looked like:
Most Interactive Blogger: Faisal Azhar
For always writing posts that get loads of comments and discussion!
And finally:
Blogger of the Year: Bernie Divall
For all her dedication and fantastic writing! She was the popular winner too, as bloggers voted on this award.
Big round of applause for our award winners, and all of our fantastic bloggers!
Love to you all. xxxx

Well done everybody – looked like a really good night was had by all.
Special congratulations to all our winners but also to everyone who has been involved in the blog.
A special award should be put aside for Anna for all her hard work in editing, managing and coordinating the blog. Well done Anna.
