if you have an interest in science then
[7]
definitely I think there's nothing worse
[9]
than getting to the interview education
[11]
and thinking I should have done I
[13]
actually enjoy be okay with being really
[16]
excited about something and pursue it
[17]
and that will drive you in your life
[19]
other people will say trying to stop you
[21]
from doing that potentially because it's
[23]
not seen as cool but if you have the
[24]
strength to say actually you know this
[27]
anyway the most important thing you
[28]
should do is ask questions so it's
[32]
something that we all do in our day to
[33]
day lives it's just a skill that we have
[36]
to develop and sometimes it feels a bit
[38]
weird or a bit wrong or like everybody
[40]
else knows the answer but I think one of
[43]
the biggest things that I've learned in
[44]
life as well as in science is that most
[46]
people don't know the answer or some
[49]
people are very good at pretending they
[50]
do know the answer so never think that
[54]
you are the least intelligent person in
[57]
the room because everybody's intelligent
[60]
about different topics and your
[62]
perspective is the most important thing
[63]
that you can bring precise I don't think
[66]
there's really anything else you can do
[67]
you can get that amazing feeling of
[70]
doing something for the first time in
[73]
the world so it doesn't maybe come often
[76]
in a career and the moments are few and
[78]
far between but his or is the
[81]
opportunity to do something absolutely
[82]
unique the great thing about research is
[84]
that you you can just explore you know
[88]
anything you want so so then but the
[90]
most important thing is that you do
[92]
something that you really like and that
[94]
actually don't worry so much about what
[96]
other people think about it whether
[98]
other people think it's you should do
[100]
something that
[101]
or other people think that way but you
[105]
like it's pointless or trivial because
[108]
actually in sometimes the most
[110]
interesting and important discoveries
[112]
can come out of the most trivial you
[114]
know beginning work in science mostly I
[117]
think it's really funny and that's one
[120]
of the thing I had not true about when I
[122]
was you know a student nice for
[125]
undergrad whatever and before you
[127]
actually worked in a lab and sometimes
[129]
in like a lot of different lab and try
[131]
it a different sort of things like you
[133]
don't realize you can actually like you
[135]
can do something you find fun on a daily
[138]
basis I've heard a lot of people say you
[142]
get some say oh I really wish I it's not
[145]
uncommon on the other hand if it's this
[149]
is if you want to be their addition if
[150]
you want to go into neuroscience and be
[152]
experimentalist and where Excel and
[154]
learn as much math as possible
[156]
because the direction really embrace all
[161]
aspects of science even if you think one
[163]
is more interesting the others because
[165]
probably five ten years down the line
[168]
you'll be using all of them do it if
[170]
you're interested in why the brain works
[173]
as it does
[175]
and not for any other wasn't feel cute
[179]
in it
[179]
and about it and you find it fascinating
[182]
just Pacific there are many ways to come
[187]
again both I know that if some excited
[191]
student wanted to come and visit one of
[193]
my labs or if they wanted to come and
[195]
spend a few weeks here and get involved
[197]
in research we'd be totally happy to
[199]
have them and say there are ways and
[201]
means are just if you're excited just
[203]
reach out to people and then we'll be
[206]
will be excited to have you around and
[208]
show you in Sciences there are
[210]
definitely ways of me into getting
[211]
involved so they either you need to have
[214]
certain grades or ever just just reach
[217]
out in case get started if you're
[218]
interested at all in understanding how
[221]
you learn develop grow how you get
[223]
excited about things how you get
[225]
inspired by things then I would love to
[229]
have you join the neuroscience you know
[232]
research community because I think there
[234]
should be more of that
[240]
