My+future+career


 * I find it hard to decide what i would like to do in the future, while there are so many interesting sectors i could follow, but what really fascinates me is the idea of my own laboratory
 * A laboratory is a huge responsibility and i know that i will have to work hard to achieve my goal

-When my 'animal and plant physiology' module started i was really fascinated with how many information we can get from animals' characteristics, things that i could never imagine before. It is really interesting to learn new characteristics and lifestyle of animals. In addition,my BS1008 module, environmental and evolutionary biology, not only shows new phenotypes in a variety of animals but also reveals new animal behaviours and defines the factors that explain them. I was amazed by the variation of behaviours in a population in order to survive or during their mate search, that i would really like to do research in this subject. However in my country there are not many opportunities to do that kind of research. -Moreover, my microbiology module gave me the opportunity to learn more about microorganisms and their effects on humans. I was excited to learn about the diseases they cause, especially those that are caused by viruses. The laboratory practicals where extremelly interesting, while i had the chance to learn new techniques, learn how to handle microorganisms, make observations and conclusions. I descovered more about myself and my abilities, while working in a team made me realize the worth of team work. In the future i would really like to become a microbiologist because i will have the chance to work in a laboratory and learn new methods in order to do research on this subject. -Furthermore, i really loved my 'Genes' module because it involved experiments where thinking was necessary to make a conclusion. I had the chance to learn all different types of mutations and crosses between organisms and how mutations can cause the appearance of new phenotypes when they occur in two different genes. Also i came accross the effects of mutations in an organism and that activated my interest. The study of chromosomes fascinates me so much that i am interested in the science of embryology.
