Dear PhD Academy friends,
Of course, your research topic is fascinating and you know everything about it! But, wouldn’t it be fun to hear a little more about the research that your fellow PhD candidates are doing, right here at the UM? And, ideally, in a fun and relaxed way, without too much jargon?
If you think that’s a good idea, the first-ever PhD Academy PechaKucha night is just the thing for you!
