U1246 SPHERE
SPHERE is a multidisciplinary unit that seeks to develop and validate methods that can be used in clinical or epidemiological studies.
The philosophy that drives the SPHERE unit is that the patient must be considered as a whole, i.e. taking into account his/her environment, and integrating his/her perceptions, experience, and wishes.

SPHERE young researchers' days - March 2023
On March 27, 2023, the young researchers of SPHERE met in Nantes for their first scientific day!
On the agenda: presentation of software for the writing of the thesis manuscript and thoughts concerning the group's identity.
We started by a presentation of the LaTeX language and a feedback from former SPHERE PhD students: how did they write their manuscript? What challenges did they face ? etc.
After a convivial moment during lunch, everyone got to work:
- The first group made its first steps with Overleaf, an online Latex editor. This workshop was organized by Floriane and Yseulys.
- The second group worked on the identity of the "young researchers of SPHERE" group, which brings together a wide variety of profiles: interns, residents, PhD students, young doctors, junior engineers, postdoctoral researchers and graduate assistants. They also brainstormed on the actions we could take to stimulate scientific life, cohesion and mutual aid between young researchers.
It is already time to leave, but everyone leaves full of ideas! We will meet again in June at the SPHERE scientific day !
