Biochemistry: Academic Events Officer

Hi everyone! I'm Lulu, a 2nd-year biochemistry student and a familiar face on 4th floor. My passion for biochemistry isn't just confined to the labs and lecture halls; I see it as a gateway to making meaningful changes in the world. That's why I'm running for academic events officer—I hope to channel my enthusiasm into organising events that broaden our horizons, open new opportunities, and prepare us budding biochemists to make a positive impact! 💚

🌟 Placement and Internship Empowerment

I know how stressful and confusing it is to find an internship, so I propose some additional support:

Organizing informational sessions focused on securing placement years and summer internships, featuring advice from seniors who've successfully navigated this path.
Facilitating workshops on application strategies, resume building, and interview techniques.

🚀 Career Catalyst Events

Host career fairs and networking events with a wide range of companies, from pharmaceutical giants to biotech startups.

🌍 Highlighting Sustainability and Humanitarian Perspectives

As someone who deeply cares about our planet and its people, I believe it is important to showcase significant role biochemistry plays in addressing global challenges. I propose:

Organizing seminars and guest lectures focused on the intersection of biochemistry with environmental and humanitarian issues, inspiring us budding biochemists with how we can apply our skills for the greater good.

🧪 Enhancing Practical Skills through Extra Lab Sessions

Coordinate additional lab sessions focusing on advanced techniques not covered in the standard curriculum, providing hands-on experience that complements our academic learning.
