Communication is important in scientific research, not
only by publications and conference talks aimed mainly to the science
community, but also for the general public by talks (such as in schools and
science café) and by using online services (such as blogs, Twitter and
Facebook). Therefore, this blog (together with our Facebook and Twitter
accounts) will be used in order to inform and communicate direct with both the public and science community
about research and everyday activities in our lab.
A PhD is wonderful experience! It is a great opportunity to meet new people, travel the world, build more skills and, ultimately, provide a better future for yourself and your family. While many students complete this experience without any difficulties, some students may find, on one or more occasions, they encounter stressful situations that can be difficult to deal with. If ignored, this can lead to greater problems, such as depression. Depression is a complex, yet surprisingly common, illness that can affect as many as 5 in 100 adults every year [ 1 ]. Despite these statistics, it can sometimes be difficult to diagnose. While some people experience more obvious symptoms such as low mood and general loss of pleasure in enjoyable activities, other symptoms such as disturbed sleep, changes in appetite and general agitation can also be an indication that something is wrong.
