I graduated in 2020 with a degree in biomedical science and, like most 2020 graduates, found that COVID-19 threw a spanner in the works. My plan originally had been to study for an MSc in human genetics, an aspect of my undergraduate course that I found particularly interesting, and then travel the world for a year before settling back in the UK with a ‘proper job’. However, the idea of spending another year studying online from my bedroom didn’t appeal to me, and while travel restrictions made it impossible to leave the country I was forced to transition into the world of work a lot sooner than I had anticipated. This was particularly daunting for me as I had absolutely no idea where to start. All I knew was that I wanted to use my science degree and make a real difference to people’s lives.
