From never being able to turn up to 9am lectures to being obliged to turn up to the office at 9am. The flexibility of no schedule to working a 9-5 every week.

In this episode, we talk about our (varying) experiences with it so far, including what we like and what we wish we could live without.

In this episode, we talk to Ciara Gibbs. Ciara is a first year PhD student in Neural Interfacing at Imperial College London, and graduated at the top of her class in Biomedical Engineering, also at Imperial, in 2022. We had the opportunity to talk about her reasons for getting into STEM, what it means to be relentlessly curious and unsatisfied and dealing with comparison, failure and discouragement.
