Yasmin Bonsu - Embracing Unplanned Opportunities

Yasmin Bonsu - Embracing Unplanned Opportunities

Yasmin Bonsu, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

In this blog Yasmin discusses her emotional journey after securing an unexpected teaching job offer post-graduation. Initially conflicted, she explores the notion of success beyond rigid expectations, realising that unplanned paths can offer profound personal and professional growth. Yasmin emphasises the value of teaching as an opportunity to inspire diversity in science, develop essential communication skills, and contribute positively to others' journeys. Ultimately, she advocates for embracing uncertainty as a powerful source of new opportunities.

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
