🎓Officially, Dr. Camps-Castellà! On September 8, I defended my PhD thesis with a lot of pride 🪸. I am cloing a intense chapter full of challenges, learning, discoveries and hours underwater. Now it is time to open new ones. New projecte, new questions, and new adventures✨🩵 #PhDlife #MarineSciences

🎓Oficialment, ja sóc Dr. Camps-Castellà! El passat 8 de setembre vaig defensar la tesis amb molta il·lusió 🪸. Tanco amb orgull una etapa d’alt i baixos, plena d’aprenentatge, reptes i hores sota l’aigua. Ara toca obrir-ne de noves: noves preguntes, noves oportunitats. ✨🩵 #PhDlife #MarineSciences

Last week I shared some thoughts about mentorship in higher education (and the lack thereof).

Id love to hear some thoughts and experiences from others too!

Let me know the good, bad, and ugly you've seen :)

Experimenting with programming with AI can be painful. Managed to remove some bugs and improve the debugging. It should again be playable. And, no, I still did not write a single line of code... #PhDlife #Academia #VIBECode #Science #STEM computationalspectroscopy.eu/PhD-game

*how* does dividing by (n-1) for sample variance make it unbiased?

Why n-1? Why not a different negative?

So much #stats #education tells us what to do but neither why nor how it works.

Anyone savvy enough to help a naive but enthusiastic learner?

The key advice from academic progression: keep the research and theory focused, and protect my wellbeing enough to enjoy the PhD

Next comes primary data collection—newer territory for me. I was honest about that; the panel believed I am ready. Time to believe it too ❤️

Over the last three days, our PhD student Silvia represented the Niessing Labs at the 2026 GSCN Conference in Berlin! 🧬 She shared our research on PURA syndrome, connected with fellow stem cell researchers, and brought home new ideas and inspiration. 🔬
