Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well! Since I've started this channel, I've been receiving some messages about my undergraduate/graduate degree and how it led to my current role as a Research Assistant. So, I'll try my best to address it all in this video!

The two key aspects I will be covering include:
1) My education background, from ALevel subjects all the way to university
2) Research experience from university lab placements and summer internships

Of course, this is not the only set path to becoming a Research Assistant in the field of Biomedical Science, it is just my personal journey. As much as I hope that this video is helpful or serves as some sort of inspiration/guidance, I'd say that the biggest takeaway is to be open to opportunities, actively seek them out but don't be disheartened if it is not what you were initially after, we can only connect the dots looking back, not forward.

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect." Steve Jobs

With love,
Vy
