Meet Nasim Peikazadi<\/span><\/h2>\n

We are so lucky to have Nasim back this semester. After a maternity leave Nasim returned to her PhD research this September (2018).\u00a0Upon\u00a0her return, Nasim hit the ground running and\u00a0already has helped numerous students get their theses formatted correctly in her workshops\u00a0and consults. Nasim is also an expert at Citation\u00a0Management tools. Not only does she know the\u00a0tools 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.\u00a0Read the full interview here<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Behind the scenes this month<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
