The Brain Bee internship was a mind blowing experience that exposed me to what a day in the life of a neuroscientist really looks like. At first, I expected mad scientists talking in another language but after meeting them I realised that they were underrated scientists who were really passionate about their work.
Their projects and words inspired and motivated me to do better in my studies so that maybe I could work alongside them and help change lives, just like they are. To any Year 10’s out there who are curious about Brain Bee or considering a science career, there’s nothing to lose, only to gain, so give it a try! You might find yourself in a lab coat too.
