a week working from Paris: PhD student life, presenting at Sorbonne, fun with friends

Hi there! This is Episode 2 of my PhD vlogs. The last time I made a video I was a second year PhD student! Now I am finishing my third year!! My goal for my fourth year is to be more consistent on Youtube. This vlog was captured in January 2026. I was visiting my friends in Paris and gave a talk at Sorbonne University. I want the vlogs to feel "lo-fi", like something you can play in the background while you write, code, or do any type of work! Let me know if you have any feedback :) Here is the breakdown of the days: Day 1: Traveling, meetup with my friend and her cat, and shopping at Le Marais Day 2: Meetings at Sorbonne, groceries, and Ojja for dinner Day 3: Chill productive day working from cafe and lab Day 4: Giving my first talk! and getting my nails done Day 5: Giving my second talk Day 6: Musee l'Orangerie, getting ready to travel back To keep up with more content, follow me on Insta! @itsalexml
