We close the first season of Into the Core with a guest who has left us with meaningful reflections and valuable lessons. This final episode is both nostalgic and inspiring, offering Early Career Researchers a different perspective on our role not only as scientists, but also as people. This includes your team as a family, the importance of living in the present and the need for work-life balance.

Flavio Anselmetti is a scientist at the University of Bern in Switzerland. He began his career as a marine geologist and later became involved in research on paleoclimate, geohazards, and paleoseismology in lakes. He has participated in several ICDP projects, including the Lake Petén Itzá drilling project in Guatemala. With more than 30 years of field experience, Flavio shares not only funny stories from scientific campaigns but also personal experiences and lessons that science has taught him throughout his career.

Turn up the volume and enjoy these stories and much more in the final episode of Into the Core First Season.
