So happy to have met Esteban during my time as a visiting #professor at EHESP in Rennes and happy to have made this further collaboration possible. 🌈
For the last few months we had a pleasure of having a "hybrid" intern - Juan Esteban Guzman Benitez who is finishing up his master in #epidemiology and #biostatistics at EHESP - École des hautes études en santé publique with us in Vienna.

Welcome Filip!
Here he is in his official „selfie“ moment, Filip Stupar who joined the team few weeks ago.
Filip is passionate about making the world a better place.
When not volunteering on #HumanityOne and helping with rescuing #refugees he maybe found in refugee #camps along the Bosnian/Croatian border.
