In this episode, we discuss,
- there is BIG power in small projects and home institutions. You have better access and more opportunity there.
- power of mentorship – this is like having a catalyst in your career
- power of having shared ideas at poster sessions at conferences, which can lead to phenomenal projects and lifelong friendships…
Thank you so much, Dr Loong for an inspiring conversation.. I sure learnt a lot from you.
Thanks OncoDaily for this spectacular platform.”
