What advice would you give to your past self when you were just starting your research journey?

Don’t be afraid to ask questions and seek out opportunities. I would also encourage myself to trust in my abilities to work hard and contribute to the group. Additionally, I would advise myself to try new things and pick up new skills along the way. I would also suggest keeping a journal or creating a system to track the work you’re doing, as it could serve as a way to see all the skills you’ve learned and demonstrate how you’re improving over time.
