University of Cambridge 2019
I leave this trip with friendships that I am certain will last a lifetime, and a passion for fields of science that I never knew existed prior to the forum. I have made so many connections from all over the world, and I have learned so much about both the science and the people that make our planet what it is. Every opportunity that I have had here has been a memorable one. ~ Isabelle
