#MSCA #HorizonEu
On #WomenInScience day, we welcome Lorena Victoria García to #LeidenForce.
Her PhD explores if an electric field can locally switch off the #LeidenfrostEffect.
Supervised by AL Biance at Univ. Lyon 1, with a secondment at CRM Group (Belgium).

Protecting joy in research is just as important as the research itself. A reminder we all need. #PhDLife #Leidenforce
🎓 A PhD is more than a scientific challenge — it’s a human one
This @nature.com article by Rory Lambe reminds us to protect the joy in research.
At #Leidenforce, 10 PhDs explore the #LeidenfrostEffect in a science culture built on support & balance.
