This week, our portrait features Kajetana Bevc, a visiting scholar at the Yale School of Medicine.

“I was born and raised in Ljubljana, Slovenia. After leaving to study Immunology in Vienna, Austria I got the opportunity to come to Yale for a year and work on my thesis.

Because of the pandemic, I unfortunately had to go back to Slovenia a month earlier than planned, as the laboratory closed and all classes were cancelled. Here, I am spending my time indoors with my family, writing my thesis and catching up on some reading. Alongside that I am trying to help somehow in this pandemic–I made a podcast on the importance of social distancing and am offering to volunteer at the local diagnostic laboratory.”
