Sharing the Marie Sklodowska-Curie experience
 I would like to introduce you to epigenetics. This very fancy word caught my attention while I was in undergraduate school and later on during my MSc. Probably the discovery of this part of molecular biology led me to pursue a PhD in epigenetics, as Steve Jobs would have said... connecting dots!
When I was in undergrad school, suddenly a very naive question popped out in my head: all cells in our body have the same DNA... however, the cells present in the brain and the cells in the skin are very very different... How is this possible?? It is almost the same as asking... how do genetically identical twins show a wide variety of differences? Authors Camilla Soragni and Gwenaëlle Rabussier are Early Stage Researchers located at MIMETAS, Netherlands. Read their previous blog post here.  By definition, 3D modelling is the process of creating a three-dimensional model of an object. And what about dimensions? Curious to know how this conceptual representation emerged? Let’s go back approximately 570 BC, to its earliest development in Greek mathematics, with the Pythagoreans and their most famous theorem.

About the blogBeing a PhD student in a European training network is a life-changing adventure. Moving to a new country, carrying out a research project, facing scientific (and cultural) challenges, travelling around Europe and beyond… Those 3 years certainly do bring their part of new - sometimes frightening - but always enriching experiences.
