My ASP experience has come to an end with the inspiring Amgen Scholars European Symposium at University of Cambridge and like every newborn alum, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Amgen Foundation, organizers Amgen Deutschland, my host lab (and especilly to my extremely patient and supportive supervisor there - Sophie Brameyer). As well I want to shout out to the next generations: apply, apply, apply!
Throughout my journey with fellow LMU scholars, we faced challenges, embarked on adventures, and created countless happy memories. Being young, smart, and fortunate is a great start, but when combined with hard work and proper guidance, it transforms us into a formidable force in this unpredictable world.
The path of intense educational and research program wasn't always easy, but in the end, standing next to my first poster at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and than at the final Amgen Scholars European Symposium at University of Cambridge I realized that I'm indeed on the right way.
Here are a few of the most delightful insights I carry with me after these two months:
1. Hard work pays off, but it's essential to leave room for fun and life along the way.
2. Science is as diverse as all of us are, and that's what makes it so powerful.
3. Lastly, the most unexpected thought in my mind was that If today I found myself in a place which I perceived as a glass ceiling for so many years, what can I achieve tomorrow with all the passion I've discovered within myself?
