An empowering way to build a highly prized skill

During my PhD journey, I had a peer named Denis who was known for his remarkable ability to travel the world. From the beaches of Brazil, where he collected samples for his research, to a research stay in San Francisco, and even to Las Vegas for a conference – Denis was always on the move. On average, I dare say, he secured funding for trips three times per year.
