Fahiza

Medical Sciences, Newcastle University

“Babies. Who doesn’t love them, right? Especially when they kick out of the womb early so that their adorable faces are only the size of your palm.”

Ellie

Zoology, Bristol University

“I was given a lot of independence which suited me despite the steep learning curve it brought — one evening I left the lab at 10:30 pm because I severely underestimated how long transferring individual flies to vials would take!”
