I didn't "decide" to become the next participant in Science Battles, if I may say so. I visited literally all the semi-finals (well, the finals) after the first season, I really liked the atmosphere, the concept of the project. At first I did not understand how it was possible to go out and talk about my research in front of everyone. Just when we passed our term papers at the end of the 2nd year, I knew that I definitely want to try myself in this project. So, I came to the finale of season 2, where my teacher was on the jury and told me that I needed to participated the next year. Well, actually, my answer was quite obvious. I said that I was all for it. Finally, the third course came, a couple of people threw me a link to submit an application. I filled out the form, but I was afraid to send for several days, but fortunately my best friend did it for me and clicked the "Submit" button. A couple of weeks later, when I was sure that I was not approved, the guys from the team wrote to me and said that they would like to see me at this semifinal. Well, that’s the whole story!
