    Insightful advice. Can see myself taking all the advice, as a newly starting research technician. Also likely applicable to other entry-level posts. Taking how much and how often in action of them, will determine the consistency in improvements of my work. I shall remain hopeful and cautious in reviewing progress. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge and tips for free!

    Hi Dr Amina, I wish to sincerely thank you for this video! Filled with gems of advice & I completely agree regarding the passion for the vision and subject matter. I'm currently in the second month of my post-grad studies at Stellenbosch University (studying the interplay of fashion and ML techniques) & working full-time. It definitely has its challenges but I will continue to believe in the rewarding career at the end of it. Love your channel & sending best wishes!
