Jorge Cristóbal García, University of Cantabria
One night, I dreamed of being a researcher, and today I’m…
My name is Jorge, and I had never dreamt of being a researcher. My path has been full of uncertainty, and coincidences (blessed coincidences!). Also, my research field (aimed at making products and processes sustainable) is somewhat away from the experimental world (the usual sight of a lab and a coat associated with researchers), so sometimes not seeing “real” results has been frustrating. Fortunately, sustainability criteria are growing a bigger presence when making all manner of decisions, and seeing our work having relevance and repercussion in society is something satisfying to see. Also, I have been able to carry out a part of my career as researcher abroad (Germany and Italy) and work for the European Commission (a one-of-a-kind experience). Now I dream of staying a researcher. There has not been a day when I woke up and I wanted to be anything else (well, except those Winter Mondays in Germany when we had a project meeting in German-but those have been few)
