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

If I could talk to my past self, I would tell her to prioritize enjoyment in whatever research or work she is doing. Research can be challenging, but it should also be something that sparks curiosity and passion. Don’t waste time on things that feel like a chore, even if they seem important or practical. Life’s too short to invest energy into things that don’t genuinely excite you. Find areas that make you feel motivated and passionate, and spend more time diving into those. You’ll be far more fulfilled in your personal life and professional life which will benefit your work in the end.
