It was the first time I had come into contact with a powder X-ray diffractometer, and I was trained by Cedric Charvillat, Head of the X-ray Diffraction platform. This short, self-funded internship allowed me to complete my PhD thesis as quickly as possible under the supervision of my professor, Etienne Sagbo. This success opened up many other opportunities for training in crystallography and X-ray techniques by experts at IUCr-UNESCO OpenLabs, schools, and workshops. As a compliment on my thesis defense, Professor Cazalbou gave me a copy of\u00a0<em>Cristallographie Geom\u00e9trique<\/em>\u00a0by Nadine Millot.
