Studying science has made me more aware of the global healthcare systems and made me aware how difficult it really is to develop something new. It’s made me very appreciative of the healthcare systems the western world has.

Science has made me a lot more resilient! Stuff in the lab doesn’t work very often and as a cancer researcher a lot of people tell me about their personal experience with cancer which can be difficult to talk about at times. It’s made me a stronger person but I also love how its taught me so much about how the world works!

One of the main skills you have to learn as a scientist is to be critical. This means that when you see a result, you look at the whole picture and try and understand everything that might be happening. Having to do this all day in your job does rub off in the rest of your life, so I find now that I perhaps over-analyse a lot of things that don’t necessarily need to be analysed. Although a lack of critical awareness is all too common in the world today, with the rise of ‘Fake News’ perhaps an indication of this.

Since I work with bacterial biology, and how microbes contribute to our health, I am more aware and discrete about using unnecessary medications such as antibiotics etc since they can have a profound negative effect on my small little buddies. I will still use antibiotics when it comes to dire situations like persistent infections etc – but i will try to avoid un-needed medications as much as possible.
