The first online Café was a resounding success, welcoming inspiring speakers and great attendance. Prof Topun Austin, Dr Thet Win-Aung, and Dr Ros Parkes-Ratanshi discussed Covid-19’s harsh truths and silver linings, coping with loneliness in lock down and adapting to UK life, and Uganda’s response to the pandemic. The three stories mixed elements of the personal, professional, global and local.
