“Above all, don’t fear difficult moments. The best comes from them.”
Rita Levi-Montalcini
About the Blog
A large portion of this blog is centred around the social and psychological impacts of being a young scientist in today’s society. This includes an interpretation of both internal and external issues and pressures within the present-day scientific community. It will also involve delving into thorough discussions of current news and discoveries of all scientific disciplines based on individual expertise, credible reports and journal articles. The aim of this blog is to improve scientific communication of both current research-based discoveries and the experiences of people within that community.
