I heard Prof. Jen Heemstra speak at EPFL, and her honesty about the real challenges of academia stayed with me.

It pushed me to grow beyond technical skills. Since then, I’ve taken courses on self-leadership, management, conflict mitigation, etc.

It’s so empowering to learn with and from people around the world 🌍
Different cultures, same love for knowledge & science.
Makes me wish we could live in such a world everywhere — united by curiosity, not borders. ✨📚

Just wrapped up 3 days of amazing talks from all over the world of photochemistry — feeling inspired and a bit tired (in the best way)!
Huge thanks to the organizers for putting together such a fantastic and well-organized conference 🙌

Took some time off to write, now back at the bench — there’s something deeply satisfying about seeing your target to crystallize.

This quiet green spot on campus became our favorite place this year — one workshop, lots of conversations, and a few big decisions. It’s incredible what fresh air and supportive people can do. Every university should have a space like this.
