SPEAKERS
Eve Warner - 'Entering the workplace and discovering what clicks'
Having started working an office job after completing a BSc in Biology, I came to a realisation that it was not for me despite good prospects. While impacted by lockdown measures, I lost my office job. I was lucky enough to secure a laboratory technician role following this, and with this first foot in the door in the broad scientific sector, I was able to try several roles at various organisations. These include a biomedical device manufacturer, diagnostic lab, and vaccine development and manufacturing company. All these experiences taught me about what I value in work and in the workplace. Now, after two years at NDS within the Oxford Radcliffe Biobank, I have been promoted to Biobank Co-ordinator, and manage the operations and a team while contributing to medical research. My talk will cover my career journey and the lessons learned along the way.
