Dear fellow PhD candidates,
We hope you are doing well! This month we only have a short update on coming events. If you have some time, be sure to check out our website on which we gathered all information on the logistics of doing a PhD at the LUMC.
Also, keep an eye out for our next newsletter and our social media, because we are planning an event on the current position of women in the workplace, in April. Do let us know if you have any suggestions.
Good luck with your experiments / analyses / writing / the biostatistics course / the eBROK, or whatever it is you do to keep yourself busy.
Best,
The LAP board

Problems with your research due to the shortage of lab material?
On December 18th it was announced that there was a shortage in diagnostic and research materials in the LUMC. Research labs were asked to turn in their supplies to allow the continuation of the diagnostic labs.
Many departments have found alternatives and other experiments to work on. However, if you are experiencing a delay in your PhD or are afraid this diminishes the quality of your work, please let us know by sending an email to LAP@lumc.nl.

Deelnemers gaan in gesprek met een panel bestaande uit wetenschappers die veel ervaring hebben met de politiek en mensen die werken in of nabij de Tweede Kamer. Hoe werkt de Tweede Kamer? Wat zijn de do’s en don’ts voor wetenschappers die met de Kamer te maken hebben? Het panel bestaat uit:
