• A Breath of Fresh Air in Science: ITMO Graduate on Finding Herself in Science, Interdisciplinarity and Bioinformatics

  …ing at a lab at the Virology Department, and three years later I defended my PhD thesis. Then, I stayed at the department as an experimental biologist – I worked in genetic engineering, biotechnologies, and molecular biology; created “new” viruses and vaccines based on them. In the bioinformatics’ lingo, I busied myself with “wet” biology. In 2014, I was invited to d…

• Soft Skills: What Are They and Why Do We Need Them?

  …: What are soft skills? If it’s about knowing how to talk to people, I can do that well enough already. Why do I need soft skills? If I become a proper scientist or engineer, I’ll be able to get a job without them. What if I’m starting my own company? I’ll be my own boss, after all. What if I just wasn’t born to be sociable and charismatic? Alright, you…
