Hi, my name is Riley Lovejoy and I am a PhD candidate studying community ecology at the University of Alabama (USA). My work focuses on aquatic communities, using freshwater plankton as a study system. I am especially interested in the influence of invasive species (those that have been introduced to an area through human transport and have a strong, negative, […]
Hi there! I am Philandra, a first-year business science PhD student from South Africa. As a first year, my current commitment is to complete compulsory course work and spend hours every day reading up on my proposed topic in order to prepare for my first proposal defence coming up in September. I have an interest in African entrepreneurial leadership strategy […]
Hi! My name is Marina and I am a geologist and astrophysicist in the final year of my PhD at the University of New Mexico, in Albuquerque (USA). I study meteorites from different solar system bodies: Mars, the Moon, and primitive asteroids from the asteroid belt (between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter). Although my PhD has been very challenging, […]
Hi, everyone, my name is Karina and I am a first-year PhD student in sport management at the University of Paris-Saclay (France), but I am originally from Almaty, Kazakhstan. My PhD thesis is a continuous journey from my master thesis for which I analyzed the organization of major sports events that were co-hosted by two or more countries, e.g. European […]
Hi, I’m Michelle! I’m a 2nd year MSc student at the University of Toronto. My research focuses on the effects of flaxseed and it’s oil, lignan, and fiber components on the gut microbiome and surrounding tissue structures. The microbiome is continually influenced by your diet and it’s respective metabolic products (e.g. short chain fatty acids, enterolignans). And flaxseed is an […]
Hi everyone! I am Rada and I am a final year PhD Candidate in technical sciences at the University of Belgrade, Serbia. My research is focused on developing machine learning models for implementation in the industry and industrial processes, with the aim of lowering the ecological footprint by controlling the use of fossil and renewable energy. I also work as […]
Hello to all! I am Michelle Martínez, a 3rd year Doctoral student in the Behavioral Neuroscience Program at the University of Texas at El Paso. I am part of a neuroscience lab where we model addiction in humans through pre-clinical models. More specifically, we investigate the underlying neural, cognitive, behavioral and molecular pharmacological mechanisms that drive nicotine addiction and the […]
Hello, my name is Meriem and I have recently finished my PhD! I passed my viva with minor corrections which have been approved a few days ago – the PhD was (and still is) a rollercoaster of emotions. My research is on twenty-first Young Adult Gothic literature. I examine how notions of Otherness, shifting boundaries, and gender are represented and […]
I am a PhD Candidate at the University of California, Santa Cruz in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department. I’m in my 6th year and wrapping up at the end of this year! It’s a bittersweet time for me because my graduate experience has been incredible, challenging, but incredible. I’ve been given the opportunity to teach field courses both locally […]
Hi everyone! My name is Freija Mendrik and I’m a second year PhD Candidate in Geoscience and Ecotoxicology at the Energy and Environment Institute, University of Hull, UK. My research is all about microplastic pollution, mainly what factors effect vertical stratification and transport and how biology plays a role in this in major rivers and out to sea. I’m very […]
