What interests you about research?

What is your favorite activity to do at home?
– Taking the COVID-19 pandemic into consideration, I would say that I have tried to diversified my at home activities. I enjoy watching series on Netflix, Hulu, and Disney +. My top three movies from Disney+ are: Cars 1, Coco, and Aladdin (2019). I also enjoy an occasional book as it adds to my knowledge and diversity.
