"My name is Zoran Marinović and I am a PhD student at Szent István University, Hungary. I became a student member of the Society in late 2016. My main motivation for becoming a student member was the opportunity to be engulfed in a community of like-minded researchers who deal with topics similar to mine. As this was the first time I was a part of such community, I did not know what to expect, however, at the CRYO2018 meeting in Madrid I realized that the Society was more like a family with each member being eager to gather again and exchange new scientific ideas and opinions. Long-time members were also very welcoming and open towards the new members, especially the enthusiastic and interested student members. 

As a student member I was able to apply for a Travel Grant to attend the annual meeting. Additionally, I had the opportunity to compete for the Society’s prestigious Peter L. Steponkus Crystal Award for Best Student Oral Presentation, which I won in 2018. Besides having the honor of being one of the best student presenters at the conference, I was also awarded a generous honorarium that I decided to spend on my further scientific development."
