      “Fantastic training! Dr. Pluciennicka gave us good insights into stress during our Ph.D. and how to handle it. Her concrete step-by-step advice applies to our daily life. I will keep on reminding myself and my peers to understand the root cause of the stress before taking any steps to handle it. Something definitely not to take lightly during your Ph.D!"

      Dr. Ewa Pluciennicka gave an amazing workshop on stress management during our PhD retreat. It was a great introduction into staying grounded during the stressful PhD process to not get lost in all the pressure. She set the room up in a way that made everyone comfortable to share how they are really doing with this rather large group of students. It was a really nice way to start a conversation around this important topic and made me feel really validated and connected to my colleagues.
