<p>We close the first season of Into the Core with a guest who has left us with meaningful reflections and valuable lessons. This final episode is both nostalgic and inspiring, offering Early Career Researchers a different perspective on our role not only as scientists, but also as people. This includes your team as a family, the importance of living in the present and the need for work-life balance. </p><p>Flavio Anselmetti is a scientist at the University of Bern in Switzerland. He began his career as a marine geologist and later became involved in research on paleoclimate, geohazards, and paleoseismology in lakes. He has participated in several ICDP projects, including the Lake Petén Itzá drilling project in Guatemala. With more than 30 years of field experience, Flavio shares not only funny stories from scientific campaigns but also personal experiences and lessons that science has taught him throughout his career.</p><p><br></p><p>Turn up the volume and enjoy these stories and much more in the final episode of Into the Core First Season.</p><p><br></p><p>Hosts: Rodrigo Martínez-Abarca and Romina Achaga<br>Guest: Flavio Anselmetti </p><p><br></p><p>Into the Core is supported by the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) and is an initiative of the Early Career Researchers Network.

<p>In the eighth episode of Into the Core, we talk with Arne Ulfers, a researcher at the LIAG – Institute for Applied Geophysics in Germany. He is an expert in borehole logging, with experience in several projects of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP).</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Arne explains how these techniques help us identify and characterize the sediments and rocks beneath a region, allowing scientists to better understand their properties and geometry for a wide range of applications.</p><p><br></p><p>We also hear memorable field stories, from his arrival in Antarctica as part of the SWAIS2C project to the time he found himself caught in the middle of a storm on Lake Nam Co (Tibetan Plateau), more than 30 km from the shore and at over 4,700 meters above sea level.</p><p><br></p><p>Curious to know how he made it through?
