Jumpstart Your Cell Cycle at York"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hi, I\u2019m Lauren and I\u2019ve been studying biology at the University of York for three years now. I&#8217;ve enjoyed it so much thanks to my supervisor, my engaging and passionate lecturers and tutors and the support of the Department of Biology, that I switched my course to an Integrated Masters! I hope to show you what a great place York is to study.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My journey with biology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During high school\/sixth form I was introverted, avoided asking questions, and I relied on the teachers telling me what to do. University was such a change for me. While there is still a lot of online and in-person support, there is more focus on independent study and planning. But don\u2019t worry if you find this difficult at first, there\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/support\/\">plenty of advice and support available<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019ve really developed my essay writing skills at York, and how to code and interpret data. This is something I\u2019d never done before.<\/span> I<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">t felt great to develop a new skill and experience how science is analysed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019ve found the opportunity to learn a variety of subjects really liberating.<\/span> I<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">t takes the pressure off having to specialise straight away if you\u2019re not sure what you want to do yet. A lot of the modules and tutorials I picked have a strong focus on bias and criticising papers. This has changed my perspective on reading outside of my degree too.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My favourite biology modules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Becoming a Bioscientist: Grand Challenges (Year 1)<\/span>.

L<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">earning the content has helped me understand how my own brain works.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/snapchat-1322354649.jpg?resize=1280%2C521\" alt=\"Snapchat-1322354649.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-14482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/snapchat-1322354649.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/snapchat-1322354649.jpg?resize=300%2C122&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/snapchat-1322354649.jpg?resize=1024%2C417&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/snapchat-1322354649.jpg?resize=768%2C313&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Coursework for the Becoming a Bioscientist: Grand Challenges module<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your third year biology research project&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Making a hypothesis and interacting with literature<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Collecting real data in laboratory experiments<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Interpreting\/presenting the data and writing the report<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being responsible for my own data and laboratory etiquette helped me realise that research is something I definitely want to do again.

W<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hen I got the opportunity to write this blog I was excited to be able to give back and show appreciation. From day one I have had my academic supervisor who has been steadfastly providing both academic and life advice throughout my degree. It\u2019s been so great to have someone to talk me through decisions and also to catch up with! I\u2019ve had a couple of occasions where I have struggled with different issues. <\/span>W<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hen I\u2019ve emailed the Department, they\u2019ve been compassionate, offering informative help (and options to meet). They\u2019ve supported me through the problems and gave me flexibility in my exams. Also, staff not only welcome your opinion, but actively seek it out. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/students\/feedback\/\">Your voice is really important to them<\/a> and can create (and has created) real change in the Department.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As one of the Student Sustainability Representatives for York, I\u2019m really eager to hear ideas from Biosciences students on how to improve sustainability. Already there have been changes to the Department, and there are currently improvements being implemented.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/20220226_125952-scaled.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/20220226_125952.jpg?resize=768%2C1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/20220226_125952-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/20220226_125952-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/20220226_125952-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/20220226_125952-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/20220226_125952-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jellyfish at The Deep, Hull (Biosciences trip)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cookies for thought<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But that\u2019s not all!

You get your own lab coat, lab book and goggles (so you can show off how professional you look) and access to the Creative Lounge, Think Tank and computer rooms 24 hours in exam season.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Creative Lounge has a bunch of different colourful study pods, a kitchen and a basket full of blankets so you can have a study space symbiotic with your learning style (maximum comfort). I spend most days in the Creative Lounge with my coursemates discussing ideas and study sessions (you really never have to leave!). There\u2019s also Cookies which sell lunch food so you don\u2019t have to make your own (and of course you have to try a cookie from Cookies).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1130\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/snapchat-97506413914.jpg?resize=1080%2C1130\" alt=\"Snapchat-975064139.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-14483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/snapchat-97506413914.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/snapchat-97506413914.jpg?resize=287%2C300&amp;ssl=1 287w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/snapchat-97506413914.jpg?resize=979%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 979w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/snapchat-97506413914.jpg?resize=768%2C804&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The resident dinosaurs of the Creative Lounge (Biosciences study area)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Biology and <a href=\"https:\/\/yusu.org\/activities\/view\/biosciences-society\">Biosoc<\/a> put together a range of different activities just for you.

Then the department facilities, and the extracurricular activities available to every Bioscience student. Over my three years I&#8217;ve found Biosoc to be a great way to unwind, meet like minded people and attend interesting events. University has been a great way for me to explore a new city, but also learn a range of exciting different disciplines within Biology, and experience what it&#8217;s like to work in a research-style environment.
