PubhD Coimbra is a good way to “get the idea that we really understand our work”
Rita Silva, from the PhD in Experimental Biology and Biomedicine, closed the April session of PubhD Coimbra. Rita discussed with us how to “Reprogram the fight against Cancer”, the topic of the research she carries out at CNC-UC-Center for Neuroscience and Cellular Biology.
Why did you decide to participate in PubhD Coimbra?
It was a colleague who challenged me to participate, at the time I was reticent but as it is great to participate and disseminate our project to other audiences, I decided to participate and come here.
How was your experience in this edition of PubhD Coimbra?
It was very good, as the environment was quite informal, allowing you to feel more comfortable. And share our stories and receive input from people in different areas.
Would you advise other colleagues to participate?
Yes, without a doubt, because it is an added value for us to find ways to present our work in different ways, to different audiences, to have an idea that we really understand our work and to receive external opinions that can help us to streamline our work.
