PhD

I start the second half of my PhD with a research visit to Italy. I'm just as excited about this visit as about the rest of my PhD.

Reviewing projects is a small habit that has helped me feel better and let go. In this blog, I explain what I like about it and how I do it.

I've read productivity books and watched videos so you don't have to. Most focus on the same thing: you need to write down your thoughts for a few minutes before you act. In this blog, I explain this strategy and share how it has helped me make better decisions.

At a storytelling course another PhD student shared her story of making her way to a PhD, it has stuck with me ever since.

We've all been there. You're so well prepared, but you realise you completely oversaw some important detail, and you heart drops. I use these as opportunities to improve my next workshop.

Organising workshops can be exciting and rewarding. It's a great way to get to know more people and have other people know you. I share 7 tips I learned about organising workshops.

We can learn a lot from successful presentations. In this blog, I share three tips I learned from a presentation by a famous science communicator.

I’m a second-year PhD student as of this month. I can’t help but feel immensely grateful for this opportunity I’ve been given, and for the lessons I’ve learned from my supervisors, advisors and colleagues. I’ve learned a great deal from them, both in science and personal growth.

I am always intrigued and slightly jealous of beautiful data visualisations in magazines or newspapers like the Scientific American or the New York Times. I love art and coding, but I was missing a dataset or idea to visualise.This summer I got the perfect opportunity.

Last weekend the clock went one hour back: a nasty surprise. I was already going to bed on the late side before my gym session the next day. Switching to summer time meant another hour would be taken off my night. In the end, it messed up my sleep for an entire week.
