Quotes from previous Fulbright-Nouvelle-Aquitaine grantees:

“My Fulbright experience has been way beyond my expectations. My new colleagues have been excellent collaborators, very welcoming and open to new ideas. The work we have begun will continue to expand and transform my career, including permanent affiliation with the host institutions and lasting friendships.”

“My Fulbright experience has been indescribable in its growth impact. I’ve had to stretch my scientific muscles to their limits and this has led to significant new ideas and goals that will become an integral part of my laboratory in West Virginia. The planned, extended collaborative efforts with my host research group will not only benefit me and my institution but also a whole field by stimulating many young scientists to come.”

“My Fulbright research experience provided an incredible opportunity to not only connect and conduct work with my hosts but also gave the chance to meet many other scientists and students doing excellent research. By studying the French coast, it made me understand how we have many similar problems but also important differences, so this highlighted how having local and global perspectives are critically important. By embracing the scientific and social culture, I was able to see, do and learn much more than I imagined, and this will be invaluable for my professional and personal growth for years to come.”
