Kengo Morohashi, PhD

Visiting Associate Professor Michigan State University, Tokyo University of Science

Well organized, affordable courses for scientists Despite tremendous amounts of online courses on internet, those focusing on academic careers for scientists are not many. Upskill’s well-organized courses (and affordable!) are exactly for the people who want to boost their abilities for engaging public benefits via science.

Zubeta Moledi

Optometrist and PhD Candidate, South Africa

I thought I knew how to write until I subscribed The classes were so helpful, and it was only then I understood why I didn't pass in the first place. I appreciated that I could back and look at the recordings in case I didn't understand something.
