What can you achieve at 19? Zosia Winnicka is studying biology at the University of Oxford, working in molecular biology and the plant world. Her projects include exploring the use of biomimetics to create water harvesting systems.
In the latest episode of Fireside Chat, Rafał Brzoska talks with Zosia about her path to Oxford, her fascination with biology, the application of artificial intelligence in science, and how discoveries from the lab can translate into solutions to real-world problems.
They also discuss the future of our planet, the challenges facing science, and why—despite the scale of these challenges—it's worth remaining optimistic.
And of course, at the end, the tables are turned. This time, Zosia asks Rafał Brzoska: does she ever imagine retiring?
Enjoy!
