DAILY Mo n d a y 3 Clarisa Sanchez 27 thing that I am behind the computer and not next to the patient. With years of viewing these kinds of images, you probably get used to it, and it becomes normal. Yes, that’s true. Now, you are in The Netherlands. What brought you to Radboudumc? I was in Utrecht. Then my supervisor became a professor in Nijmegen. He wanted to create a computer diagnosis group there, focusing on this solution in a practical way. His vision really inspired me, so I immediately searched for a position there. Do you think The Netherlands and Spain are very different? They are completely different. It was kind of a culture shock to come here. It was still very nice because they embrace people. They really help you. They are very open and friendly. I didn't have any problem in that sense. I felt good here. It's an easy life, especially in research. It's a very challenging but exciting environment. I was always happy here. I came for one year, and I am still here. Tell me one thing that you miss about Spain, except food and friends. I miss the sun! Here, it can be very grey and rainy. I miss the spontaneous way of social life, of socializing with others… finishing work and saying, “Hey, let’s do something together ” and meeting friends. Are they not as spontaneous in The Netherlands? No, usually they follow more of an agenda in social life. They will make appointments in advance. For me, that was very difficult because I don’t have an agenda. I don’t think about what I am going to do in two or three weeks! [ both laugh ] Have you gotten used to it? Now my friends know me. You can say: “Let's go eat pizza, now everybody!” Yes, [ laughs ] now they deal with me. What was one pleasant surprise about The Netherlands? “We need to have one day where we meet all together physically, at least even to have a drink together, at least to actually see each other.”
