@koronkebitch Thank you for writing this article! I am also here for the people you might meet at a conference or during a research visit. My best memories are those sparks of joy that light up in someone’s eyes when they grasp something new during a discussion, whether it’s a colleague, a student or myself. Happy to read that I am not the only one who thinks the best part of a thesis is the acknowledgements page (and I’m absolutely depressed to see that they’re becoming increasingly rare in recent theses).
