Episode 2 of the PORTfolio podcast – on the beginnings of a scientific career and curiosity

In the latest episode of the PORTfolio podcast, we take a look into the world of Klaudia Kuzdrowska — a young researcher from Łukasiewicz – PORT, who combines scientific work with a wide range of passions. Klaudia works as a process engineer in the Biology of Astrocytes Group led by Dr. Michał Ślęzak, where she studies animal behavior and brain function.

In her conversation with Ila Joshi, Klaudia shares her fieldwork experiences in Uganda, her time in labs across Poland, Lithuania, and the USA, and her love for extreme sports such as skydiving and scuba diving. She also talks about the discovery of a new species of tardigrade and explains why science is not about knowing everything.

It’s an inspiring conversation about curiosity, chaos, growth, and the courage to follow your own path.
