David Beckham, Malaria and PhD Upgrade Viva's -What is the connection?

In this episode, Dr. Bahijja Raimi-Abraham interviews Lina Wu, a PhD researcher in her research group (www.theraimiabrahamgroup.com) . They discuss Lina's motivation for pursuing a PhD, her research on engineering human liver stage malaria spheroids, and her experience meeting David Beckham as part of a malaria campaign. They also talk about Lina's upgrade viva and offer advice for preparing for and navigating the viva process. Lina shares her memorable experiences and breakthroughs in her PhD journey and expresses her goals and aspirations for the future.


Takeaways

  • Doing a PhD allows researchers to solve problems, be focused on a question, and find solutions.
  • It's important to have a strong foundation of knowledge in your research area and be able to explain concepts to others.
  • During the upgrade viva, it's okay to say 'I don't know' and commit to looking into the question further.
  • Nerves are common during the upgrade viva, but preparation and confidence in your knowledge can help overcome them.
