Daniel López García, PhD student at the University of Cantabria (Spain), participated in the Mardi des Chercheurs poster contest and won the REUNICE award.
As a PhD student, it is always a pleasure to share the latest results with my peers. On Tuesday 13th June, I had the opportunity to present my work titled ‘Taming plasmids to negate in synthetic genetic circuits‘ at Mardi des Chercheurs 2023.
This kind of events are great for meeting other PhD candidates and networking. They are also important for developing essential skills, such as public speaking.
Furthermore, Mardi des chercheurs, with its multidisciplinary nature, brings additional benefits. Presenting your work to a diverse audience challenges you to distill complex research into a language that can be understood by individuals from various fields. This process not only enhances your ability to effectively convey your research but also sharpens your analytical thinking.
Moreover, engaging with individuals from diverse fields provides the added benefit of fresh insights. They offer alternative perspectives that you may not have previously considered.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I am a PhD student at the University of Cantabria (Spain). I work in a wonderful group that specializes in Plasmid Biology. My major is harnessing plasmids to construct synthetic genetic circuits. These circuits enable bacteria to exhibit computer-like behaviors, making them highly suitable for a wide range of applications
