Week 42: "The presenters were absolutely excellent. They should give this presentation regularly!"

So said one of last year’s participants. Mark your calendars for yet another remarkable Week 42, from October 14-18, where research ethics, rhetoric and public opinion, impact, AI, and data visualization are among the ingredients.

"This was very useful! I wish I had heard this presentation much earlier in my PhD journey."

And more: "This presentation addressed a crucial topic that every PhD and postdoc should be exposed to at least once during their academic journey, ideally at the beginning."
