Maike as a mentor:
PhD stands for Doctor of Philosophy, where the philosophical aspect can sometimes get sidelined. However, I encourage broad thinking, hypothesizing and even speculating, as this inspires novel experiments and ideas to pursue.
We are a young lab, this comes with many unique advantages (and some disadvantages). I strive to create an environment that will make you the best scientist you can be. I also realize that everyone has different career goals and I will do my best to support you in achieving yours.
