Hi everyone 👋🏻🤠 I'm back
I'm not sure if it's a good thing to ask you all, but I am curious how you made an idea for your PhD program? I myself find in the situation that I want to do a PhD program, but I either have too many ideas or I have no ideas for it. Could you lend me some advice?

A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻 ❤️
A hole runs through the bear’s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord and perhaps worn as a protective amulet.
Discovered in a peat bog near Slupsk in Poland. 📷 National Museum in Szczecin.
