Poland has lots of really interesting opportunities sort of untouched, a new ground to be charted in terms of basic science investigation with lots of interesting problems and lots of good foundational work from previous generations of geologists.

My research is very much about Poland. I was really interested in Catholicism as a kind of culture-making institution in Poland. I decided to apply for a Fulbright because there weren't any academic sources about contemporary exorcism. I got it and I am here.

Be ready in the first month to be a little lonely. It’s completely normal and I think it makes you a stronger person. It’s that very beginning part when you’re like: "Okay, I can really do this,” and you can power through.

I've been stationed in Krakow for the duration of my grant researching mosses, and I love it here! Poland has so much to offer. There's beauty wherever you look.

If you are still on the fence whether to apply or not, I would HIGHLY encourage you to apply. You will change lives over there, you will change your home institution, Fulbright will change you.

It was very productive to work with my Polish colleagues at the University of Warsaw and we made many interesting discoveries.

Part of what makes Fulbright so amazing is not just the lessons you learn, and the culture you're exposed to, but the relationships that you create that maintain, and endure, and last.

I have learned a tremendous amount during my time here [Poland] not only about myself, but about the importance of communicating with others, even if your Polish is a little rough, like mine is, but the importance of learning and understanding about different cultures.
