I’m an early career researcher that simply can’t fit to a particular area. Let me tell you quickly my story. I’m a marine biologist with a master in Aquaculture who has recently finished a PhD in Physical Geography. As you can see, my research interests go way beyond little fish to how rivers function and the impacts human actions have on river dynamics and the biodiversity supported. Adding to this, I’m also into research ethics, science communication and public engagement. Thus, I’m here to bring the transdisciplinary knowledge to the H2020 INTEGRITY’s project but perhaps more importantly, I’m here to bring my own experience on students perceptions on research integrity, having myself not so long ago been a high school, undergraduate and PhD student and faced challenging aspects of research integrity during my studies.
