DBA Masterclass by Dr Yuliya Shymko
“In this seminar I will touch upon the question of motivation and impact of academic research. Notwithstanding the importance of scientific rigour in dealing with the big questions of our time and puzzles of nature, it is crucial to reflect on what drives, triggers and informs our quest for discovery. The central theme of the seminar focuses on researcher's ability to have an impact on the world, which is defined as willingness to use one's curiosity and engagement to offer a new way of seeing to others”.
