Dr Sara Fuentelsaz, postdoctoral researcher with the GEVAB group

1. What do you like most about your job?

It's difficult for me to say there's something that “I like best.” But I can say what satisfies me the most, and that is forming part of a project that aims to offer personalized therapy to patients with chronic diseases.

2. What would you like to spend more time doing?

I would always like to spend more time on animal activism. At the same time, I'm in a rather introspective moment right now and I would love to be able to dedicate more time to continue learning in other areas beyond work, such as yoga for example.

3. What are you proudest of?

My perseverance and determination. If I decide to do something, I go for it. Period. Even if many “bumps” appear along the way, even if it takes longer than what is considered “normal.” “If you believe, you believe.”

4. What value do you appreciate most in people?

Compassion. This, in turn, implies intrinsic empathy, awareness, respect, and courage.

5. Where's a place you'd like to visit?

The Amazon rainforest.

6. What's a dream you'd like to pursue?

For all beings everywhere to be happy and free from suffering. For my thoughts, words, decisions, and actions to contribute in some way, however minimal, to their happiness and freedom.

7. What do you have left to learn?

Well, everything. Better yet, I think the question should be: what don't I have left to learn?
