@Lydia_Schulze and I had a few internships where I did animal research My absolute favorite was the one where I got to use optogenetics.
Yeah, the conditions of working in academia were not as great, as you certainly know… I taught myself how to code a bit during my studies to analyze some data and always did it as a hobby. So when I was thinking of changing careers that was a clear candidate. I attended a coding bootcamp to learn in a more systematic manner.
