After quite a few years of being an invaluable member of the lab – and one of the only people I know who have solved structures by NMR and crystallography – and done EM as well – Ana has decided to step out of academia into the scary real world. She has done it by tooling up as a web application developer in her spare time – and she instantly became a hit – securing a job with the web development company Hypothesis. So far, she is really getting a buzz out of it – very exciting – and remarkably painless! It seems that those skills developed as a science PhD turn out to be valuable in other places – who would have thought!
