Meet Nasim Peikazadi
We are so lucky to have Nasim back this semester. After a maternity leave Nasim returned to her PhD research this September (2018). Upon her return, Nasim hit the ground running and already has helped numerous students get their theses formatted correctly in her workshops and consults. Nasim is also an expert at Citation Management tools. Not only does she know the tools inside and out, but also is exceptional at helping others select the right tool for their needs. We had the chance to catch up with Nasim and ask her a few questions recently. Read the full interview here.
Behind the scenes this month
Even though we have only been open for a few weeks, our team has already offered over 30 different workshops, study groups, and writing community sessions. From behind the scenes, I can confirm you have a passionate team which is constantly stretching beyond itself!
As a representative example, our Quantiative Data Analysis team of Minjeong and Mohammad created a survey about your specific quantitative data analysis needs. Complete the survey so that you can help directly impact our quantitative data analysis learning opportunities.
