“At the Institute I’ve volunteered for many science-related events including discovery tours, where we show visitors our laboratories and explain our research. It’s fantastic to share my knowledge with other scientists and the public.
“I’m also a scientist mentor at the Gene Technology Access Centre (GTAC), have undertaken an internship in the Institute’s Scientific Education Office, and was selected to take part in the EMBL Australia PhD course in 2018.”
After her PhD, Anna plans to take a position as a postdoctoral scientist. “I can’t imagine myself doing anything better than research, especially cancer research,” she said.
