Tips from Diandra Martinez Cano-
In science, it's more important that you be a good learner than that you know everything. Figure out the ways that work best for you to learn. Knowledge, technology, and software are constantly developing, so even if you're an expert one day you might be a novice the next. The key is to learn how to learn.

You might not get the job you want right off the bat. That doesn’t mean that you won’t eventually get there. Look for opportunities that are exciting to you, and build relationships with people who will support you. There are a lot of different career paths in science, and the one that's right for you might not be something you see coming.

No one excels in a science career without help. Just like any other job, there are going to be parts of it that only the pros know, so it's important to talk to the people who have done it before you. Mentors are critical to your journey in both education and career. If someone or something has inspired you, reach out and ask for their help. You might be surprised out how excited many people will be to help you (and if they're not, reach out to someone else!).
