Day in the Life of a Cancer Research Master's Student | King's College London | Atousa Vlogs

[@MyPurpleChocolate]

your videos are really helpful especially for people who want to study biomedical science like me. keep up the good work :)

[@atousa5752]

aw that's so great to hear, thanks so much lovely! :)

[@michals2582]

very good video, but strangely i have yet to find a "day in the life of a" lab researcher video that signif includes keeping & keeping up with their lab notebook. Guess you all think that part would be boring for your non-scientist friends & family, maybe, but it would be helpful for lab researchers, esp new students, so hope you'll make another vid that much includes it. // Please include showing & explaining (with brief examples) how-when-where-etc you usually take bits of time out to write notes for & in your lab notebook. And what type stuff to write in the notebook before, during(?), & after you do an experiment. And please guesstimate about how much of your total lab research work time you (maybe ask a few of your lab mates too) spend on your lab notebook (also referencing locations of data recorded elsewhere, & related lab notes elsewhere / not in notebook). // Thanks!

[@butterbeer4582]

michal s yes this would be super interesting!

[@hanisophiakhairani3336]

this is so inspiring and motivating!!! thank you atousa!!!!!! do post more videos on your research

[@atousa5752]

aw I'm glad you think so lovely, you are more than welcome!!! and yeah of course :) let me know if there is anything specific you want to see :)

[@PluviophileTraveller]

Also, THANK YOU for all the work you are doing on cancer research. You're all heroes. :)

[@atousa5752]

aw honestly I'm just a student, but my god some of the people here work hard!! they are incredible people!

[@christianetrotman2217]

Hey,I am currently an undergraduate student studying Biology and I found your video really interesting and helpful!! Please do more videos on your research, how you got into your master's program. Thank you!!!

[@atousa5752]

Hi lovely! aw that's great to know, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! and yeah sure, I will try to make a video all about my application process to my master's soon :)

[@thoughtsofdaydream1649]

I get such positive vibes from Chelsea she is just wonderful.

[@atousa5752]

aw, this is such a lovely comment! yes she is an absolute sweetheart!

[@hal6541]

Hi, i'm really enjoying your videos, very insightful. I thought it would be interesting if you could maybe show us your work in depth and maybe revolve a vlog around your practical work and discuss the struggles you face in the lab, things/techniques that fascinate you etc. Again, your videos are AMAZING and i'm finding myself trooping through them in a binge watch. Thank you

[@atousa5752]

Hello! aw I'm glad you enjoy them! my recent vlog talks a bit more about the struggles of research, but sadly because I have just finished my course, I can't make videos about the techniques anymore ): BUT I will make some future videos talking in depth about my specific projects to give you a better idea of what sort of things we do :) also, that is awesome to hear, you are more than welcome :)

[@satyaprabhu6207]

[@atousa5752]

[@biologicallyyaseen]

Y Y if you don't mind me asking, after completion of your masters, what did you do after

[@heatherflorence124]

So glad I found your channel! I want to study biomedicine at KCL too!

[@PluviophileTraveller]

Lolol me and my patience levels!!! Glad you were amused. 😊

[@SadeMetsavirta]

I think I'd like to do this eventually... I didn't study Chemistry in Upper Secondary, but I did Psychology, Health Sciences and Biology so hopefully I can just try to catch up on the Chemistry and get into a Biomed undergrad :o

[@atousa5752]

I'm sure that there are universities that you don't need chemistry to get in! I wish you all the best :) It's really fun!

[@rammicru4775]

which module do you like in the cancer biology?

[@falsesectslikeshiaarejudeo6543]

nong chub doi min teke doi punroh int. video reminds me of my days incubating cells...

[@user-wk9wy5qd4r]

I don't know what I want to be yet, i just want to do something meaningful and helpful to people also interesting to me.this job looks pretty cool.

[@atousa5752]

Take your time deciding, and I may be biased, but it is pretty cool ;) hehe good luck lovely!

[@user-wk9wy5qd4r]

Atousa thanks for the advice and for replying 😀😁

[@PluviophileTraveller]

Love it! So interesting!

[@atousa5752]

[@shlok82000]

This is so so helpful thankyou so muchhhhh

[@atousa5752]

[@jessicah1459]

i love your videos and they're really helpful to me as I'm studying my a levels and I'm applying for 2018 entry for university. At the moment I'm not sure what course to study. Have you got any ideas as to how to decide? (my thoughts are environmental science, ecology or marine biology/oceanography)

[@atousa5752]

aw that's lovely to hear, I'm glad! aw, yes actually I've been wanting to make a video on how to decide what to study! so I will make a video and include your comment in there :) hopefully the video should be made and up by early next week! (also, those all sound like amazing subjects! hehe)

[@italiangirlaround7248]

so interesting!!!! can I ask you what's the name of the master you're doing? I would like to search for more infos online :)

[@atousa5752]

Yes of course, it is Translational Cancer Medicine at King's College London :)

[@falsesectslikeshiaarejudeo6543]

20:00 - what were you experimenting for?

[@AminaCse]

Hi Atousa! I have currently applied for a Biomed course here in Belgium. I originally wanted to enrol on a Medical course but I leave that for later. I wanted to know as you mentioned in a Q&A video, you can still apply for med school will on the biomed course but you manage somehow to be accepted do you have to start again on year 1 ? So is your biomed studies "going to waste" ???

[@atousa5752]

Hi lovely! That is a very good question, and unfortunately I'm not sure about the answer! sorry ): but the only thing I can say is that while it technically seems like it's "going to waste" if you have learnt a lot of things in that first year, that should still help you with your medicine course! - but as I said I don't know, so it might be worth ringing the actual university that you have applied to, to get specific information! Take care lovely! :)

[@AminaCse]

Thank you so much for your answer and advice ! Think I'll do that and ask my uni directly ! Thank you so much take care :D

[@aspengrey1898]

Sundae Mornin Hi, I too got intrested in biomed yet I had my passion course of being a student midwife. It is possible to enrol in biomed after midwifery but yet again, I'm thinking maybe I should stay in midwifery. I too I'm from Belgium.

[@Biomeducated]

@@AminaCse Are you studying in Belgium now? I'm in Belgium :D what uni?

[@charukahiran4902]
