It's summer and thus university-free time (at least for most of us students)! We hope this podcast episode can satisfy your unmet longing for casually academic conversations. For this episode, Nina Hansen, associate professor at the University of Groningen, chatted with us about her current research project in Sri Lanka, her passion for applied research, the importance of taking initiative (Bachelor students listen up!!) and much more. Enjoy!
