International Education Week: Breaking the Linear Path: Embracing Intellectual Freedom and Happiness in a Scientific Career by Dr. Matheus de Castro Fonseca.

In this lecture, I will explore how intellectual freedom and personal fulfillment can redefine a scientific career. I will delve into the political challenges within academia and broader societal systems, illustrating how these forces can stifle scientific innovation. By sharing my personal journey, I aim to demonstrate that a linear, conventional path is far from the only option, and that true fulfillment often lies in forging your own way. Please, come and hear Matheus who is a Caltech Postdoctoral Research Associate in the division of Biology and Biological Engineering, talking openly about the freedom in science depending on the country you live in.
