David Douda, PhD
I was very impressed with the depth and breadth of research work that occurs at LMP. The number one reason for choosing to do my PhD at LMP was the research topic of my PhD supervisor. Additionally, the department, as a whole, is very student focused and provides a lot of support. It was also apparent that the LMP student body is a very close knit social group, which made it an easy choice for me.
I learned how to be a critical
thinker and a good scientist
because of my PhD training at LMP.
There are so many essential skills
above and beyond bench science
that are critical in your success as a
professional, no matter what career
path you take. LMP has a breadth
of training/workshops that were very
helpful, such as networking,
negotiations, and oral
presentations. Furthermore, this
program provides the opportunity to
become extremely resilient. It will
test you in many ways. I’m glad I
was in LMP because of the support
I received from the program, as well
as my peers, making this tough
process so enjoyable.
