A new life chapter (and vlog series) - Cambridge research vlogs

It's been some time since I last uploaded, and that's because I've been busy settling into my new job as a research assistant and also my life in general here in Cambridge, but I'm back with a couple of vlogs to come!

As I've slowly been getting the hang of how things are run in the lab, finding where reagents are stored, and carrying out my experiments with greater confidence, I thought I'd share with you what a realistic day in my life is like as a research assistant at Cambridge University. Every day is a little different (some days I have more lab work and some days I'm mostly sitting at my desk), but here's a little snippet into a slightly more eventful day at work. Hope you enjoy the vlog!

About me:
Hello!! My name's Vy and I make vlogs and chit chat videos about pursuing an education / career in biomedical research.

I'm currently working as a research assistant in Cambridge and studied biomedical science for my undergrad and postgrad in the UK.

This channel is also a place for me to document the little joys in my every day life, travel adventures and all in all, just memories I'd want to look back on.


This video was entirely filmed and edited on my phone.
