These passports are valid for one year or less and may not be accepted by all countries. So, once you're back in the United States, be sure to replace it with a full-validity passport. #ConsularAffairs

Through Unizulu, the Physics Institute, and the Science Centre network, Dr. Fish and his team aim to establish as many science centers as possible. Participating in two Fulbright Opportunity Lecturing Fund (OLF) programs in Puerto Rico and North Carolina, offered another fantastic opportunity, fostering connections with Fulbright Alumni in both locations. The Fulbright network and support made all of this possible. Becoming a South African Fulbright Research Scholar has opened a new world of opportunities for Dr. Fish, including research, international collaborations, networking, personal growth, and intellectual stimulation. It has been a life-changing experience, made possible by the support of the Fulbright program. This program serves as a crucial cultural and academic bridge between South Africa and the U.S. Although the application process is competitive, it's worth the effort.
