This year has brought a lot of tough, new challenges, one after another.

Postdoctoral Life5th September 202030th December 2020

During my PhD studies I never structured my day like office work from 9 am to 5 pm. My typical working day was 9 am to 9 pm, seven days a week, but that included checking SNS, quick glossary shopping, and cooking a meal. I worked wherever I liked (home, campus, Starbucks, even on a […]
