Researcher profile: Laura Castro Royo, University of St Andrews
In this highly energetic and inspiring video, Laura takes us through her fascinating research on Simurgh, the mythical bird of Persian myth and folklore. She looks at the differences between Simurgh, phoenix and dragon – what makes these mythical birds so fascinating. We talk about her own project, Las Plumas de Simurgh, where she shares knowledge and interests with a wide audience in Spanish and English. We end with a chat about gaming, the importance of representation and also the need to take care of our mental health as students.
