Thesis Thursday with Belen Molina

I am currently a senior at the university and had the opportunity to go on the greatest adventure of my life. I was fortunate enough to be part of PROZKOUMAT!; a program through the university that allows ten participants the chance to travel across the world and engage in research at the Institute of Parasitology in the Czech Republic. This experience was more than just an opportunity to do research abroad. Through PROZKOUMAT! I saw the world from a different perspective and learned to become a global citizen and a better me. I would like to share my experience with KXCI listeners in hopes of inspiring others to take part of the growing globalized community, especially in science.

The University of Arizona’s Undergraduate Biology Research Program is partnering with KXCI 91.3 to produce “Thesis Thursday,” a weekly segment featuring student researchers talking about their undergraduate thesis projects, or research projects while working with University professors. Students describe their research, their overall goals and career interests and where they think their research will lead. As well, they get a chance to share the music and interests that motivate them.

Broadcast three times every Thursday with a new student each week.

Thursdays: 9:55 AM, 11:55 AM, and 2:55 PM
