| It is possible that during your thesis you will have to face problems, either scientific problems with your subject (the impression of not finding a solution, of being stuck, of not understanding things well, of not having data or examples, of having problems with the experiments or the results, etc.) or relational problems with your supervisor or some of your colleagues. Whatever the cause, don't brood over your professional problems and don't hesitate to talk about them around you. | It is possible that during your thesis you will have to face problems, either scientific problems with your subject (the impression of not finding a solution, of being stuck, of not understanding things well, of not having data or examples, of having problems with the experiments or the results, etc.) or relational problems with your supervisor or some of your colleagues.

| Scientifically, you will surely have the impression that you are working alone and this is generally true: you are scientifically isolated. However, this is not a reason to isolate yourself socially, quite the contrary. If you encounter problems, even if they are very technical and very specific, it is very likely that some colleagues can help you at least partially or at least listen to you. Sometimes, taking the time to verbalize and explain your problems allows you to find a solution. Of course, you can also talk openly with your manager. | Scientifically, you will surely have the impression that you are working alone and this is generally true: you are scientifically isolated.

| If you encounter relational problems with your supervisor, whatever the problem is, also take the time to talk about it calmly, first with your supervisor and then with your colleagues, whether it is the permanent staff, the post-docs, or the other PhD students. Here again, talking quickly about your problems often helps to avoid aggravating a situation or at least to get moral support. You can also turn to people outside your direct relational environment to get an external point of view, such as doctoral student representatives or members of the CSI. | If you encounter relational problems with your supervisors, whatever the problem is, also take the time to talk about it calmly, first with your supervisors and then with your colleagues, whether it is the permanent staff, the post-docs, or the other PhD students.
