We are very pleased to share the wonderful news that Cristina Veríssimo successfully defended her PhD thesis in Biomedical Sciences last week.
Her PhD project, “Academic integrity of Portuguese students: psychological and contextual influences across health and non-health fields,” supervised by Professor Laura Ribeiro, has already resulted in two published articles, with three additional manuscripts currently under review:
