It’s not uncommon in science for professors to move their lab from one university to another. That’s what happened recently to the lab of Thomas Schalch.

Few months ago we all saw him at the Uni Mail stage taking part in Don Giovanni piece. And now he is doing his experiments in Uni Leicester, UK. What happened in between?
One of the nicest guys in the program, Maksym, recently impressed many of us during his thesis defense. Here, we ask him to reflect on his PhD experience – What were the highlights? How did he manage to stay sane (and so nice!)? What would he do differently if he could do it all over again? Also, he shares some tips and tricks with us on how to reach the finish line.
Who doesn’t know Margot? No-one of course, as she is the muse of the program! Also, she has created the amazing logo of our newborn portal. Therefore we couldn’t miss the opportunity to talk with her about her hobby. Check it out!
