I never actually seriously considered pursuing a doctoral degree before the opportunity presented itself. But I'm so glad I did. I want to thank my parents, Simo-Pekka and Leena, for always encouraging me to further educate myself. Thanks for always having the time to share your advice, even if I didn't think I needed it. I want to thank my sisters Laura and Krista and my brother-in-law Risto, who have always supported me (and kept me grounded!) in my endeavours. Lukas and Tomas, you are still too young to read this, but I'm so happy for having such awesome nephews in my life. Finally, thank you Tuuli for always being there for me and seeing the best in me.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
