Since joining Ocean, I’ve learned to build a professional CV and strengthen my academic profile with Dr. Raha’s guidance. Working with Mohadeseh and the review team has helped me contribute to publications and grow as a researcher. I’ve also developed my teamwork, discipline, and sense of responsibility throughout this journey. Most importantly, I now believe in myself and know that dedication and learning can help me overcome challenges and achieve more
Sana Sadraei Majd
This collaboration has been much more than a scientific experience for me. You helped me learn to always see the positive side of things. I learned how to conduct research properly and how to read and critically analyze scientific papers. I’m genuinely happy that I feel I’m becoming a real scientist. Dr. Raha is incredible, supportive, and inspiring. She has truly helped me take steps toward the transformation I want to create in my academic life. The weekly meetings and workshops have greatly expand my knowledge and scientific perspective
Zahra Jafarzadeh
I joined the Rahasima OCEAN Group on June 19 and would rate my experience 5 out of 5. During my time in the group, I have learned the fundamentals of scientific article writing, academic skills, time management, and teamwork. I have also benefited from laboratory protocol training, troubleshooting sessions, presentations, workshops, and valuable guidance from the group members and mentors
Reihane Ghorbanian
I joined Ocean in June, during a difficult time for many of us. Being part of a supportive, like-minded community gave me a sense of belonging and helped me grow academically and personally. Through discussions, writing, workshops, and mentorship, I strengthened my scientific thinking, confidence, and consistency while building meaningful friendships. I believe greater clarity in some aspects of the group could make Ocean an even stronger community
