As time passes (read: as I am advancing in age), the 'firsts' in life are dwindling. Here's the first invited journal review article co-authored by me. Hopefully not the last one.Thanks to @SpringerNature for their support

My thesis groups (Group 1: Mehnaj Tabassum and Troyee Naha; and Group 2: Mahdia Mahmud and Fahim Rahman) have received the RISE Student Research Grant (Call-ID: S2022-02). Another step by BUET to encourage young researchers!

When being a minority in your own country means living with a constant fear for life, you loose hope for the humanity. It’s 2021 and we haven’t achieved the simplest idea of value of any life regardless of their identities - gender, race, religion, ethnicities.

@elesay_official @PhD_Genie @PhDVoice I had my first acknowledgement section draft by Year 1. NOT written down though, in my mind. Does that count?

[Nafisa Islam @ChENafisaIslam]

@PhDForum Take help of postdocs, lab personnel, groupmates, even equipment operators! Network with other advisors/PIs in similar research areas (some are more communicative than others; Who knows, a collaborative project may open up) .
#BeenthereDonethat helped me get more independent!

@PaulaAranaB If the class has even one intelligent question-er, it helps to test the limits of my knowledge!
