In PubhD it is possible to contextualize the research project, which "also helps you to understand your project".
From the PhD in Experimental Biology and Biomedicine, Frederico Pena brought to the June edition of PubhD Coimbra his research project: "Neurodegenerative Diseases, Drugs and Bright Cells!". The PhD student is part of the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology of the University of Coimbra.
Why did you decide to participate in PubhD Coimbra?
It is always a good experience to do PubhD, it helps you to train and contextualize what you know, from your area and your project. And it is always a good training to be able to explain your project to a "more normal" audience. If you can contextualize things in a simple way, it also helps you understand your project itself.
How was your experience in this edition of PubhD Coimbra?
The experience was very good, both on my part presenting and on the part of the audience, I felt a good reception and a good reaction. I think overall it was a favorable experience.
Would you advise other colleagues to participate?
Of course. I think sooner or later we're all going to have to present our work, to whoever, so we're all going to have to do it. So if it's on a training basis, I think so. So it's worth it.
