"I am grateful to Campus France for awarding me the inaugural French + Sciences scholarship. As a researcher working at the intersection of cultural studies and technology, this scholarship helped my work immensely through the extended linguistic immersion in Montpelier and access to leading French Institutions. The opportunity to meet diverse international scholars and spend long evenings with them was undeniably a privilege. I was able to make the most of this interdisciplinary and intercultural potential of this program as well as make myself familiar with Southern France, a place I would not have the means to visit so thoroughly otherwise. Or as Einstein sums it up, La connaissance s'acquiert par l'expérience."
