Honoured to be at the CNRS_IBMP in Strasbourg as a Visiting PhD scholar, supported by the IFCPAR/CEFIPRA through the Raman-Charpak Fellowship. I’m thrilled to begin work in a dynamic plant molecular biology research community of Arabidopsis and this stunning city. #scienceabroad #PhD

I think a good rule of thumb is to spend at least as much time thinking about your data as you did obtaining it. It's common for people to spend a lot less time thinking than doing which gives rise to all kinds of problems.
