 This year we've had about a hundred PhD students starting and that's been the largest number that we've had so we wanted to give them a really good welcome to the Faculty of Science. I'm in the School of Human Sciences. My research is on children's growth in East Timor. I am really happy to be part of the Faculty of Science, especially I'm in the School of Human Sciences and I've found that doing a PhD was such a really, really good way to feel like you were actually involved in the university being a post-graduate student is a really good opportunity to actually get to know a lot of academics and feel like you're contributing to being a part of the Faculty. I really like the people here, I really like the culture and in WA I think it's laid back and I feel like I can work in my own pace, I can motivate myself, I feel inspired here. Also we want to really add more value to the PhD and so this is the start of the science passport journey.
