About me:
I am a biologist finishing the 6th-year postdoc. I grew up in Hong Kong, have worked in the US and now living in France, now searching for my next role in private sectors of science.
Recruiters, please contact me for working opportunities: / verabschan
Before I conclude my time as a postdoc, I really hope to make YouTube videos that are tailored for the younger science community. These are basically what I would share if you find me as a postdoc in your lab. I hope my personal tips will provide some positivity, support, and encouragement to those who are on the journey of academic research.
