This podcast is about researchers and their journey through the challenges of today's academia. In this episode we meet Dilara, a PhD student who found herself confused and isolated during the writing of her master thesis. Finally someone stepped forward and helped her through that difficult time, and now, as she is busy with the PhD thesis, she makes a point of connecting with younger colleagues and always offering them support and a safe place to be heard. 

Dilara's story is inspiring because of the strength of her spirit, her determination to help herself, to never give up, and to rarely place the blame on others, even when she could. And to keep calm through it all. But no matter how strong you are, you can always use some help. When you're stuck, when no one reaches out a hand or seems to care or understand what we're going through, sometimes you meet someone who gives you exactly what you need, and they turn your whole situation around. For all intents and purposes, that person is the angel in your life.
