Self-confident and confident in research –
The success blog for scientists
Nice to have you here!
My blog is all about the challenges and opportunities of everyday life in science.

And if you have any thoughts or questions about the articles, I’d be delighted if you shared them in the comments – let’s get talking!
So far, not all articles are available in English, sorry! But I’m working on it đ!
