As a young healthcare professional and a scientist who develops novel antibiotic medications, I’m enthralled by the prospect of my research directly making a difference to the health of millions of people worldwide. At the same time, I’m always amazed at how profoundly our scientific knowledge is interwoven and interconnected. This means that I know I’m doing my part in a concerted global effort to advancing human knowledge and helping to make this world a better place. What a blessing it is to be able to remind myself of this every day as I go to work!
