I guess is kind of difficult because in industry the company wants to know you since they are going to work with you and of course paid you. So I guess it may be difficult. However I wanted to ask you since you know better. Thanks!

    You hit the nail on the head with the things you mentioned Academia should ONLY be pursued if you TRULY have a burning passion for it because you will be solving humanity’s problems for a very severely poor wage. Egos DO run high in the “rat race” to prove your intellectual prowess. I recommend just sticking to biostatistics because bioinformatics is still at a relatively new and is mostly tailored for academia.

    4:05 Hey Georgia, I don't know if you mentioned the potential health risks of working as a wet lab-biologist (for example, dangerous chemicals, sharp objects, infections from samples etc.) in your previous videos. From this point of view, doing bioinfo is much more healthier than working in a lab, right?

    • @genomicswithgeorgia
      @genomicswithgeorgia 4 месяца назад

      Hey! Yeah excellent point. I would add though that the wet lab have many protocols, people, and departments in place to mitigate the risks in the wet lab. There’s not many people in bioinformatics forcing us to stand up every hour or to take walks at lunch 😂 I think the health risks of bioinfo are more long term when you’re older with years of built up bad posture 😂

      Virology and bioinformatics go hand in hand, look at how we used bioinformatic analysis of variants during the covid pandemic! It doesn’t matter if your python and R were in non-biological contexts, having that experience and your masters choice puts you in the perfect position. I would try to make your masters project computational and using bioinformatics , and always code your analysis in python or R (not excel). Try and seek out virology lecturerers/professors at your institute and ask if they know any opportunities where you could contribute to bioinfo in virology/just ask them general advice. It’s an Exciting path you’re on 💪
