If you have a suggestion for a PI to interview ("Doing a PhD in the Stone Age"), drop us a DM and we will ask them the difficult questions for you. #Decemberedition #theoptimist #phdchat


We are looking for new talent at @KU_Leuven and @CBD_VIB @VIBLifeSciences to take over from our more senior editors. The Optimist is a PhD run journal which aims to put a smile on your faces and raise a couple eyebrows here and there! #academia 👩‍🔬

Accidentally closed a browser with 20+ tabs opened . . . this must be what the scholars of Alexandria felt when their great library burned.


We have a new banner and logo :D Finally we are parting ways with our poorly drawn Microsoft paint logo. Thank you Paula Longás ! #newbeginnings


We really enjoyed meeting the new group of enthusiastic @OptimistPhd editors today #phdstudents #lablife #gradstudent contact us if you want to join or submit any work for the upcoming editions :)
