As part of #YoungScientistNetworking (thanks to @QuantumTessera for organizing this) I'm going to share my career journey; this will be a (very) long thread & personal in parts in an attempt to put some of the decisions into context (1/n)
I did pretty well in high school, but the last few years were tough; my Dad died when I was 15 and, at 17, I broke my leg in a car accident (it's all good now & I wasn't the driver BTW). But thinking long & hard about my future just didn't seem like a priority at the time (2/n)
