Physicists use simulations all the time to create virtual representations of things in real life. They might, for example, simulate flow over an airplane wing to predict how much lift it can generate, or simulate the forces acting on a bridge during heavy traffic, to check where its weakest points are. In video games, they […]

When you’ve completed all your lab work and data analyses, the next big step is turning it into a scientific manuscript. This can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re working with large datasets or complex results. Figuring out how to shape everything into a coherent story that others can follow and appreciate is often harder than […]

If you’re a PhD student, you already know — doing a PhD isn’t just about research. It’s a whole emotional and mental marathon that tests your patience, confidence, and even your sense of self. You start full of excitement and curiosity, ready to uncover something meaningful. But somewhere along the way, between endless experiments, paper […]

Last month around this time, I found myself leaving the house at 4:30 in the morning to catch a flight from Helsinki airport. Destination: Aarhus, Denmark. After a short pause in Copenhagen and a bus ride across the countryside, I was finally there — ready to spend two days immersed in science at the DANDRITE […]

When we think about our immune system, we often picture it as a strong defense army, ready to fight off infections and keep us healthy. But what if, instead of just watching how it reacts when illness strikes, we could metaphorically listen to the tiny molecular conversations that our immune cells are having every day? […]

I had a busy summer filled with various exciting work programs, visits, and conferences. Amid all this busyness, one thing became especially important to me: meeting new people and reconnecting with those I already knew. In communication terms, this is about networking and expanding my connections within my field of activity or interest. Besides the […]
