"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern

In Finland, all new PhD holders are given a traditional PhD Sword & Top Hat during a Conferment Ceremony. The sword & hat symbolise the freedom of research and the fight for what is good, right and true.

The remains of the village of Oradour-Sur-Glane, one of the most powerful places you could visit. After the SS massacred the population of more than 600 men, women and children in 1944 they burned it to the ground. Today the ruins stand as a silent memorial to a martyred village.
