Marie-Estelle (3rd year, HD:CHS) is currently working on her BA thesis on depictions of insects in relation to environmental change in Ancient Egypt. “To me, Grotius is the best example of an interdisciplinary scholar. Having been able to take a close look at his extraordinary life strengthened my belief that no issue can be tackled when isolating fields of research. This is surely a lesson that I am taking with me into my thesis project and hopefully beyond as well.”
