<p>Dok privodimo kraju prvu sezonu Puzzle Science podcasta, želela bih da se osvrnem na naše zajedničko putovanje kroz osam snažnih epizoda, od kojih je svaka obradila teme koje su mi izuzetno važne.</p> <p>Počeli smo sa Senkom, razgovarajući o identitetu, jedinstvu i vernosti svojim vrednostima u nauci i društvu. Darko je podelio zašto je važno biti povezan sa svojim korenima, a Branka je naglasila značaj sistemske podrške. Tim nas je podsetio na važnost glasnog zagovaranja i prihvatanja društvenih odgovornosti, dok je Karolina osvetlila uticaj rasta desničarske politike na imigrante i poverenje u nauku. Na kraju, Elizabeta mi se pridružila u tri epizode kako bismo istražile empatiju, odgajanje ljudi i zašto je ključno boriti se za prava.</p> <p>Neočekivano, svaka epizoda povezala se sa temom koja duboko odjekuje u meni: zajednicom i preuzimanjem odgovornosti prema njoj.</p> <p>To me dovodi do Srbije, gde su studentski protesti doveli do široko rasprostranjenih blokada fakulteta, zahtevajući pravdu i odgovornost. Njihova hrabrost inspiriše me da podignem njihov glas i podignem svest o njihovoj borbi za bolje društvo—borbu koju sam ostavila iza sebe, ali za čiju podršku sada preuzimam odgovornost.</p> <p>Setimo se reči profesorke Marije: „Gospodar nenormalnog rizika treba da snosi posledice njegove realizacije.“</p> <p>Hvala vam što ste bili deo ove sezone. Vidimo se u drugoj sezoni, koja počinje 31. januara razgovorom o retkim bolestima sa divnom Nadjom.</p> <p>Ostanite jaki, budite svesni i borite se za ono što je ispravno.</p>

<p>As we wrap up the first season of Puzzle Science, I wanted to reflect on the journey we’ve shared through eight impactful episodes, each covering topics that matter deeply to me.</p> <p>We began with Senka, discussing identity, unity, and staying true to your values in science and society. Darko shared why connecting to our roots is essential, and Branka emphasized the importance of system support. Tim reminded us to speak up and embrace our societal responsibilities, while Carolina shed light on the effects of right-wing political growth on immigrants and trust in science. Finally, Elisabeth joined me for three episodes to explore empathy, raising humans, and why standing up for rights is critical.</p> <p>Unexpectedly, every episode connected to a theme that resonates profoundly with me: community and owning our responsibilities to it.</p> <p>This brings me to Serbia, where student protests have led to widespread faculty blockades, demanding justice and accountability. Their courage inspires me to amplify their voices and raise awareness about their fight for a better society—a fight I left behind but now take responsibility for supporting.</p> <p>Let’s remember the words of Professor Marija: "The master of an abnormal risk should bear the consequences of its realization."</p> <p>Thank you for joining me this season. I’ll see you in season two, starting January 31st, with a conversation about rare diseases with the lovely Nadja.</p> <p>Stay strong, stay aware, and stand for what’s right.</p>
