    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I enjoyed my placement because I learnt a lot of things and got to develop my current skillset. Aside from learning new lab techniques, I got to network with other scientists. I was also able to develop interpersonal skills such as teamwork and communication. This placement has helped me build my confidence in presenting data to my colleagues
