Yasmin Bonsu, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. Meet our newest monthly blogger... Yasmin Bonsu, a third-year neuroscience student at the University of Manchester, shares her journey as an undergraduate engaged in research during her placement year at the University of Oxford. Under the mentorship of Dr. Becky Carlyle and her colleague Amelia, Yasmin has navigated the complexities of academic research, experimenting with biological procedures and personal growth, despite the challenges of social anxiety and a strenuous commute from Milton Keynes to Oxford. Her research focuses on the potential protective effects of granin family neuropeptides on neurons affected by Alzheimer's disease, with a goal to explore neuronal resilience. With genuine candour, Yasmin reflects on overcoming self-doubt, recognising the value of support systems, and the importance of embracing imperfection in the learning process. We hope you will enjoy hearing from Yasmin every month and follow her continued explorations in academia. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-life-of-an-undergraduate-in-research/ -- Yasmin Bonsu is an an undergraduate student from the University of Manchester currently undertaking a placement year at Wade-Martins Lab at Oxford University. Yasmin is investigating the activity of proteoforms of the granin family in cortical neurons insulted with oligomerised amyloid beta. Her goal is to finish her placement year, earn her bachelor's degree in neuroscience, and then pursue a PhD in clinical neuroscience. Through Yasmin's blogs we'll gain insights on life as an undergraduate, and hopefully inspire others to pursue a career in dementia research. @yasminnnx2 -- Enjoy listening?
