I am a MSc student at @HICRA_UCT, investigating the role of genetics in congenital heart disease in SA. Understanding the causes of children’s heart disease will improve the way we care for and treat our cardiac patients in Africa👩🏻🔬🧬#ResearcherinAfrica #WomenInSTEM @NRF_News

Here is a wonderful thing my supervisor said to me:
Always show up as the best version that is available to you on each particular day.
Sometimes, our best is to get out of bed, go to work and do some minor tasks. On those days, this is already good enough.
