Productive day in the life of a Research Assistant at Cambridge | cafe, cell culture & PhD thoughts

A productive day in the life vlog of a Research Assistant at Cambridge University ☕🔬👟🌿🍜
Hi everyone 😊 Hope all is good and that you're taking care of yourselves since we're transitioning into the ❄colder❄ months (if it's ☀️warm☀️where you live, hope you're doing well too!). This was a rather productive yet chill Saturday in my life - I met up with an old friend at one of my favourite Cambridge cafes (Hot Numbers)☕, headed to labs to do the typical mouse embryonic stem cell media change🔬, got a workout in at the gym 👟 and ended my day with ramyun and kdrama🍜🇰🇷! Leave a comment if you loved Little Women too 👩‍👧‍👧. Hope you enjoy this short little vlog xx

Hello 👋 My name's Vy and I make videos about pursuing an education and career in STEM 🔬 I'm currently working as a Research Assistant in Cambridge and studied Biomedical Science in the UK 🇬🇧 Science aside, I really enjoy all things creative arts 🎨 This channel is also a place for me to document the little joys in my every day life and my travel adventures 🌎

Hey Vy, I'm currently a year 12 student and I was so lost on what to do in university. Watching your videos made me realise that it wasn't medicine I was interested in but actually biomedical science, it's so full of biology and I love all the little details you include in your videos! Im the eldest sibling in my family, so I had no role model to look up to but then I came across your channel. I think of you as an older sister for guiding us and giving us so many tips. Thank you for sharing all of this with us, looking forward to more videos ❤️

[@biomedwithvy]

omg this is so sweet of you so say 🥺🥺 I'm glad you're finding your interest and defo more videos to come!

[@youngbiophile]

Hey so what did you end up doing?

[@MarioRodriguez-h3k]

Thanks so much for putting this together :) Your videos provide aspiring people with a vision for their future by watching someone else do what they may be a little nervous about doing. At least that's what theyre doing for me. Thanks!

[@biomedwithvy]

this makes me so happy 😊

Adorei seu vídeo. Fico feliz por vc está pensando no PhD . Estou começando meu mestrado aqui na USP no Brasil. Estou trabalhando com leishmaniose visceral. Realmente têm sido um desafio. Uma coisa boa é que vc aproveitou bastante os últimos meses, então a energia pro PhD aumenta rsrs. Tô ansiosa pra ver mais

Hiii 👋 really like your videos. I am also working in the field of biomedical science and planning to apply for phd too. Are you thinking of applying this cycle or next cycle?

[@biomedwithvy]

all the best!! I'm sending in a few applications this cycle to hopefully start next fall 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hi Vy, I'm a student about to join uni and I would like to ask some advice on applications to imperial college London it's really challenging and confusing rn this would really help x

[@biomedwithvy]

Hi! Feel free to ask me in the comments here or drop me a message on insta 😊

[@ji-shawnpardassie3461]

Hey nice video, if you work as a research assistant in academia, do you use your off hours to prepare labs ?. I'm a university student doing a biomedical emphasis degree and we usually have to plan our labs before hand before entering the lab.

[@biomedwithvy]

thank you! during my undergrad/postgrad I'd use outside time to plan for labs too, but in my current role I only work a rough 9-5 because my supervisor is the one driving the whole project, and although I am allocated some mini projects, I don't make final decisions, I mostly assist when needed 😊

[@YiLing217]

Hi, can you tell me your tip on retain memry on lab? How do you work efficiently in lab without memry lapse?

[@nikitabehera5639]

please do a skincare & makeup routine

[@biomedwithvy]

hahaha I'm no expert in either but might include it in my next vlog!!
