Luísa Amado at PubhD Coimbra: When Science Speaks to Everyone
In this special anniversary edition of PubhD Coimbra, we challenged Luísa Amado to come and explain her doctoral project to us. Luísa is enrolled in the Doctoral Program in Experimental Biology and Biomedicine, conducts her research at CIBB - Center for Innovative Biomedicine and Biotechnology, and brought the topic “In search of (potential) mechanisms of autism spectrum disorder!”
Why did you decide to participate in PubhD Coimbra?
It was the enjoyment of communicating science, to be close to people who don’t work directly on the same things I do, understanding what kinds of questions they have, how we can do a better job explaining these things, and learning from one another.
How was your experience in this edition of PubhD Coimbra?
I really enjoyed it, I liked sharing this moment with the public. I think I got very interesting questions that made me put my work into perspective.
Would you recommend other colleagues to take part?
I recommend this experience to others; I think it’s a lot of fun, and everyone should take part.
