Biomedical science q&a thread!! 2015/2016

Many biomedical sciences graduates undertake further study because an increasing number of careers in the science sector require entrants to have a specific postgraduate qualification. By studying at postgraduate level, you will further develop your specialist knowledge, research skills and communication skills.

Do they go into any non-lab based proffesions ?

People who graduated with me have gone into things like science communication and policy, pharmaceutical marketing and advertising and teaching.

I stayed in science (I'm now a postdoc in academia). See my sig!

What?

I'm not sure what you're confused about! My sig tells you that I did a PhD after I finished my first degree, where I did it and what I did it in. My post tells you that I now work as a postdoc (someone who has finished their PhD) in academia (a university or a research institute instead of industry). Which bit don't you understand?

Oh Noo it makes sense now! What's your Job

Research!

Calm yourself okay

I think what you are looking for is pharmaceutical sales/marketing.

I'm not into that to be honest.

I'm a kind, helpful person who loves to help people and make them feel healthier or reduce illnesses. I like providing advices and using my scientific knowledge to help people. I don't mind practical work but not looking forward to doing it 24/7.

The careers i'm considering are: scientist, dietitian,pharmacist and teaching. Which career do you think would suit me the most? You can choose more than one!

Dietitian or pharmacist (which can get very boring).
