Student testimonials 2013

Via a lecture during the course Frontiers in Biology I became familiar with the research about multitrophic interactions of range expanding plant species of the Terrestrial Ecology group of the NIOO

I highly appreciated the strong team spirit which provide me the opportunity to gain the very cool research experience

Working at the Plant Protection Service allowed me the opportunity to pursue the topic of my interest

My stay at the department was such a nice experience

... I gained the confidence and knowledge necessary to perform experiments that I never thought I would do

...small amounts can lead to nice reactions and results

... you cannot only broaden your horizon in the field of your research topic, but also improve your knowledge about how a research group really works

…. you get a chance to grow a lot and are always challenged to improve yourself

From conducting my own research I learnt more than from all my practical courses in the past three years.

Nematology is a nice group of people that create a good ambiance to work in as a student

They are open to involve students in what they are investigating by short presentations, which are given every week by someone else

It was very gratifying to work on my own project and do so in the context of cutting-edge research

When I came to nematology with my idea for a thesis they were really enthusiastic

Thanks for the devoted guidance, I have achieved good results
