In the Clinica Journal, Year I, Nr. 4 (May 15th – June 15th), p 12-23, reproduced integrally online with the redaction’s approval, it has been recently published a bilingual interview of one of the SOMS honorary members, Dr. Mihai Moldovan from Copenhagen University, in which his continuous and successful scientific collaboration with “Carol Davila” University is illustrated.

Dr. Moldovan’s active involvement in the increase of the medical students’ scientific research interest was the starting point of a long-lasting collaboration with SOMS which materialized into interactive workshops and scientific competitions (Brain Awareness Week for 7 years sequentially in collaboration with the National Neuroscience Society of Romania) or summer/autumn schools for students.

Following these events, students without prior scientific experience were involved in projects that were finalized with publications in international journals and that were cited in high-impact journals, including Nature.

Because of his distinctions in the research activity and due to his contributions in developing the students’ scientific activity, Dr. Moldovan became a SOMS honorary member:

Citing Dr. Moldovan, “It’s a curious paradox that you cannot learn how to do research unless you actually do research”, we encourage our colleagues to try various projects till they will find one they will be passionate about!
