A Reminder On General Healthy Habits

Sometimes I need to remind myself of what is important for me. Since I started studying physiotherapy, and also since starting this blog, my habits have changed a lot. I’d like to think mostly for the better. That said I think it’s time for me to sharpen the saw and take a look at the …

Experiences from KI Summer School in Medical Research

Anyway, that’s not the point of this here blog. I had …

Ways to follow the recommendations (part 2)
