During my PhD write up phase I was routinely drinking 4 energy drinks a day to help me focus and get my thesis written. I have acid reflux from the damage I inflicted on my body then, even now years later, and have to live with what I did in the name of "Academic productivity".

Somedays I wish I ran experiments that were a bit more…everything

7 organelles imaged simultaneously in live cancer cells. The complexity of the cell never ceases to amaze me when acquiring these datasets..

Hasn't failed me so far 😂 Please if you have a good way to prioritize tasks share it in the comments... other PhDs need your help 🥲 #phdmemes #phdlife #phdchat #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #PhD #postodoc #academia

I really wish I had the power to put on a crown of pipette tips and command my cultures to do what I wanted them to do 👑

When my PhD supervisors ask how I'm going:

The team is properly bonding before the beginning of the DYNAMIC-FET summer workshop!

Getting ready for the start of our Summer Workshop at MAICH in Chania Crete! Great three days for discussions, planning and socializing with the partners and more…

It's on! The DYNAMIC-FET Summer Workshop has kicked off at MAICH in Chania, Crete with Giannis Zacharakis delivering the introductory talk, setting the stage for three days of scientific catch-up and productive project planning. 💪✨ #DynAMicFET #SummerWorkshop #MAICH #ChaniaCrete

Exciting start of the day with Prof. Vasilis Ntziachristos leading the way at DYNAMIC-FET summer workshop! Ready to dive into day two! 💪✨ #DynAMicFET #SummerWorkshop #MAICH #ChaniaCrete

And so it came to a closure… the 1st Dynamic Summer Workshop. Inspiring talks, reviewing achievements and planning of future tasks. Great thanks to all participants and to CIHEAM Chania for the hospitality and professional organization!

Always a pleasure attending Prof. Hatzikirou! Great talk once again! M3s (B. Hatzikirou)

Super excited to be in such a beautiful city for the first #CancerNeuroscience conference that's about to start tomorrow!! Can't wait for all the amazing talks and insightful conversations that are about to come!! 😊

Who would've thought my idea of "celebrities" would evolve?! 😂 Attending the 1st #CancerNeuroscience conference flooded me with butterflies as I finally got to meet the pioneers of the field! Their groundbreaking publications had me following them cautiously all this time! 📚💫

Here we come! The IESL_FORTH Giannis Zacharakis team is on it's way for the #EMIM2024 at Porto! Can't wait 🤩 European Society for Molecular Imaging - ESMI

The best invention ever! At the Get Together party at the amazing Palacio da Borsa #EMIM2024 European Society for Molecular Imaging - ESMI
