    What made you decide to become a URA?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Through my experience as a science communicator, I learned that our lives and society are supported by a lot of knowledge born in research fields like universities, which made me realize there are various hurdles that must be overcome in order to implement them into society. I wanted to work in a job that would allow me to be involved in the process from the birth of new knowledge in a university to its implementation into society, which is why I applied for this position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
