In today's episode, Eva catches up with Sarah as she is preparing to defend her proposal for funding for her research. We start with a recap of the proposed project and the steps in the process of obtaining the funding.

Then we look at how Sarah is preparing to defend her proposal: how she is preparing for her presentation and how she is preparing to answer questions. We learn about the practice defenses she has been using to practice.

Finally, we look at some of the practical aspects that can go wrong (such as national strikes with the trains), which led to Sarah traveling a day in advance to Brussels.
