What do life science graduates do after a degree? Biology, Biomedical science, Neuroscience, Pharmacology and more

Consuming digital media has become a part of everyday life but how conscious are we on how much it affects our health based decisons

Why are scientists and doctors so keen on getting pig hearts working for humans? There is a story of many decades to tell.

TCIM - meaning "The Catalyst In Me" is a life science and science communication blog. The youtube channel mainly focuses on bridging the gap within science communication and bringing science content to everyone. The website is focused on life science career content showcasing the range of careers available to life science graduates.

A wealth of resources to help you through your life science career journey. Content includes: writing tips, CV tips, science writing and more. Everything that cannot be summarised in an interview.

Life science careers are often not well described. Out of all STEM careers it is hard to find clear information with personal examples. The catalyst in me does all this through interviews and resources that will guide your life science career.

Theme: Acknowledging Difficulties The theme for this month was acknowledging the difficulties of the path chosen. No career path is without its downfalls, and understanding some of the difficulties will make it a lot simpler to navigate.

Theme: Creation Vs Consumption The theme for this month was to challenge my ideas on how science content is created and consumed. I had to do a inward reflection on how I interact with science outside "work". If I cant engage with other areas of science, as a science communicator how can I convince audiences to do the same?

Theme: Consistency is Key The theme for this month reiterates a common phrase constantly heard. Consistency in the work you do is producing at a set goal you are proud of or willing to give out.

Theme: Seeing is Believing I set out the theme for this month wanting to explore pretty pictures in science but stumbled across the headline of the sad loss of a patient who received the first pig human-heart transplant. Years of research goes into showing why something will be possible but some breakthroughs only happen as a result of necessity and hope.

Theme: Exploring Different Themes TCIM: the careers blog. Over the years and naturally the expected career paths for life science graduates have been categorised and with that I thought why not make sure the newsletter profiles represent this and then also push the boundaries and play at the intersection of these categories.

Happy New Year ! Theme: TCIM as a Resource Writing the final newsletter in December was a struggle mainly because I didn't know what message I wanted to end the year with. I struggled identifying the bigger "why" as I explored different things with the blog.
