Talented on Earth, talented in space
Dóra Babócs, a surgical resident at the University of Szeged, is only 27 years old, but she has already conquered the Earth and outer space. Babócs has contributed to 17 scientific papers in the last six months, and has presented at a US space research conference.
The university interviewed Babócs about her achievements so far and her aspirations.
“In New Orleans, at the world’s largest space medicine conference, I presented one of our space surgery research projects. It is very difficult to get an abstract accepted for this conference because of the high oversubscription and the high professional standards, so it was a great honour to have our work recognised,” she said.
“I have been among the finalists in several international, American space medicine and space surgery awards this year, so I will be even more excited to see the announcement of the results next year,” she added.
