Hi there. My name is Saowapak.
I am doing my Ph.D. in catalytic metal-organic framework with the computational chemistry approach
… at Kasetsart University, Thailand
but I am looking forward to doing my research in overseas (especially in German-speaking countries).… Why?
1) It’s challenging
2) Good salary ;)
3) I like it here
4) Least hatred subject, I guess (Kidding!) -

Hi, I am Amy and am working on a PhD with the Open University in Milton Keynes UK. I am exploring ways cognitive computer training in Executive Attention can generalize to improvements in Executive Function for people with brain injuries.
I am still finalizing my proposal…How could such few words be so much work….arghh. My work has now spread to three continents and I have met amazing people on this journey
I am doing a PhD because as I recovered from a brain injury I found out a lot about the brain that can make a contribution that will help others. Much of the research on my topic doesn’t help people justify the need for cognitive care or demonstrate that it is beneficial. I plan to meet the need…plus people are quite polarized on whether I am doing someting useful or have lost what little brain I had so I am interested to see which group is right and sign myself

Hi all!
I’m Kean How and doing my PhD in microfluidics at University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus.
Why? I like the challenges and satisfaction after you achieve something out of the challenges … and more important, my interest on the topic!!

Hi I am DHRUV doing PhD in nanobiotechnology lab in University of Bologna, I am working on Neurodegenerative disease mainly on Parkinsons disease structural confermation of alpha synuclein and effect of different different chemicals and protein on alpha synuclein but I have problem to find out exactly what is happening inside alpha synuclein.

Hi Dhruv
What got you interested in this aspect of Parkinsons and do other neurodegenerative diseases have the same markers? I have long believed that something basic and critical is missing in research on PD.I work with people who have sustained cognitive decline as a result of neurodegenerative disease so I am really interested in where science is going for that area
Best of Things with the PhD.

Hi all!
I’m lily, doing PhD in developmental biology at Inner Mongolia Agricultural University ,China.
My works focus on epigenetic modifications alteration of imprinted genes in cloned sheep,especially DNA methylation. i love my work,because it makes me
eager to know more life secrets. I like to exploring not known things. -
Hi Lily,
What got you interested in this and where do you think it will take you…I took a baby forensics and DNA class and I saw real possibilities for those in this field improving life. When I tried to explain it I got blank looks or lectures on not messing with creation etc. I explained life messes with creation and we are a part of it but I was outnumbered. My interest was not dampened though and likely if they had someone who actually studied this explain it they would have been more open LOL! -
