I see it as a tremendous opportunity to share the work we do at UC and in Chile, in collaboration with colleagues from different Chilean universities, including Chile, Los Andes, and Usach. So, having the opportunity to show there what we do here is very important to me, and I feel very grateful and proud, because in a way, you are an ambassador for the place you represent. Many professors were involved in the papers I presented, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to go there and for people to be interested in what we have to say."
