| Protégé presents research in Tromso, Norway |
 Karen Diaz, reports on the experience presenting her research at the Quadrennial Ozone Symposium 2008. "[...] It was definitely a great opportunity to network, not only meeting people from the field, but also from all over the world that perform this kind of research and are constantly searching for answers and new ways to improve what they already have done. [...] It allowed me to present the research I had done in collaboration with my previous research mentor, Holger Vömel through SOARS, NOAA, and CIRES and start establishing my future career in science. Also, it’s a great way to connect with scientists previously met and start building professional relationships for the future.” |
