Coming to PubhD Coimbra was "always a goal" of my doctoral journey!
Closing the 1st edition of PubhD Coimbra 2023/24 with a lively talk, João Cardoso told us about his PhD in science communication. "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Health" was the topic he presented, as part of his PhD in History of Science and Science Education at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology at the University of Coimbra.
Why did you decide to participate in PubhD Coimbra?
I decided to take part in PubhD because, as a former organizer, when I started this project four years ago with my colleagues, my goal was always to be able to come and share my PhD if I became a PhD student. I'm also coming at the final stage and with some results, to share a bit of my science and a bit of my journey as a PhD student about to finish his research project.
How was your experience in this edition of PubhD Coimbra?
My experience here today was very interesting, especially the question and answer period with the audience, which allowed me to see different perspectives of what my doctoral project is about - I was able to see perspectives that I probably wasn't used to, nor have I been used to in the last four years.
Would you advise other colleagues to participate?
It's a challenge I'd recommend to anyone! Not only would I advise colleagues in my field, but I'd also advise people who aren't studying for a doctorate to come and see and get a bit more information about all the fantastic projects that are being carried out at this university and all the kinds of science that could be our future.
