Hi, Iβm @AulieTsee and my journey in STEM started because of my love for food π₯¦π
In high school, I studied food science and chemistry as I was curious about how all the delicious foods we eat are digested and absorbed into the body, and the science behind it all! π¬π§ͺ

The cooking practicals exams were quite stressful, I felt like I was in MasterChef (π©βπ³), but I absolutely loved the theory behind food science so in 2013 I started a Bachelor in Human Nutrition @latrobe π©βππ @LTUnutrition
In the 2nd year of my degree, I chose a subject called Microbiology! This is the biology of very small organisms that we need a microscope to see π¦ π¬π§«
I never thought that I would enjoy microbiology. I am glad I tried something new and discovered what I am passionate about π₯³

I loved learning how microorganisms so I did Honours in Microbiology @PetrovskiLab where I made great friends (@brittmassey_, @Vaheesan_R & @stephh_lynch). My research was investigating how antibiotic-resistant plasmids evolve through acquiring other mobile genetic elements π§¬
After Honours, I was awarded a PhD scholarship to research plasmids and how they contribute to the spread of antimicrobial resistance!
I have learned that growing as a scientist involves;
- self-confidence
- critical thinking
- growing as a person (outside of science)

As I wrap up my thesis and look back, I am grateful for the opportunities and I have definitely enjoyed the journey π₯³π©βπ
I am excited for a new chapter working on AMR and solving new problems with other scientists. π§«π§¬π©βπ¬π§βπ¬π¨βπ¬
Here is my takeaway to all people in STEM:
