On #WorldNTDDay, I’m arriving in Berlin for a seminar on effective altruism and how to choose a career that actually makes a difference. A good moment to think about neglected diseases, among other overlooked global challenges. #EndTheNeglect

📢 Today is #WorldNTDDay! Over 1B people are affected by neglected tropical diseases. Too many still lack safe & effective treatments. 👉 Share this post to support science, innovation & global health funding. #EndTheNeglect #BeatNTDs #UniteActEliminate

🎓 PhD milestone – on my birthday! 🎉 Two weeks ago, I defended my PhD in Pharmacy on my 28th birthday (coincidence, but unforgettable!). A full lecture hall, friends & colleagues from abroad joining online, and afterwards a big celebration at our institute. (1/4) #PhDone #BirthdayDefense #PhDSky

I am wearing a big smile, white T-shirt and my self-made doctoral hat. I am standing in front of a bookshelf in the institute's seminar room. In Germany, it is a tradition that colleagues craft a unique doctoral hat for the PhD graduate. The hat has lots of details on top, prominently including small cell culture flasks. On the front, it reads "Dr. Lara".Collage consisting of 6 pictures. Upper row: 1. My supervisor hands me a gift bag for children which reads "Schulende" (end of school). It is a self-made bag and usually reads "Schulstart" (beginning of school). 2. The lecture hall with green chairs and a green ceiling wall. 3. Me and others laughing and holding glasses of champagne. Lower row: 4. The room with some of the people who were there standing and sitting. 5. Picture taking directly after they placed the doctoral hat on me. My arms are close to the hat - it was heavy and I was afraid that it would fall. 6. Gift table with flowers, the doctoral hat and a big box with lots of different snacks and a photo book about my time as a PhD student. In the middle is a lab-themed card which was drawn by another PhD student.

New from The Strain Team: 🎊 Springer Nature Discovers MDPI 🎊 Springer Nature has spawned a copycat journal series called "Discover" mimicking #MDPI journal titles and citation behaviours. We even made a browser game to prove it (see 🔗). Gross! 😀 1/n #ResearchIntegrity #SciPub #AcademicSky

Warum stand dieses Geld denn nicht vorher zur Verfügung für all die Forschenden, die schon hier sind? Warum kommt es erst jetzt darauf an, attraktive Jobs (mit längeren Vertragslaufzeiten) zu schaffen? Wer sind "the best and the brightest"? Bitte nicht antworten, ich muss im Bad die Wand anbrüllen.
