Hello guys 🙂
Hope everything is going well.
Im doing a PhD in molecular neuroscience and although I don’t hate it, i don’t want to study this when I graduate. I chose it as I got to move to another country 🇯🇵. I don’t regret as I got to learn so many new language and culture. Before this, I took a biomedical science bachelors (immunology and microbiology).
However I’ve now realised I am deeply passionate about studying human emotions and understanding why humans behave in relation to trauma. It’s something I can see myself doing forever.
Therefore what pathways can I take?
Cognitive science MSc > PhD cognitive science?
Or can I go straight into PhD? Would it be possible?
Neuromatch academy do many courses that could get me up to speed eg computational neuroscience / neuro AI. But is it enough?
Thank you in advance!
TLDR:
I chose biomedical science at 18 years old instead of what I really wanted to pursue (cognitive science) , even though I got an offer for it 😪 . I have been on a confusing career journey ever since. Can I go back and make the switch?
