Sustainable cellulose production & Work-life balance

Cellulose is used everywhere today, from textile to food production, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Divya explains how we can make cellulose in a sustainable way from microbes by using ocean water instead of fresh water, the scientific challenges of this production and the socio-economics aspects of her project. We also discuss work-life balance as a PhD student, how to maintain it and what to do if one loses this balance. 

This episode has been hosted by Jacopo Munaretto and Louise Morlot. The PhDPod production is by Miriam Beyers, Louise Morlot and Jacopo Munaretto and editing is by Davide Visintainer.
