Catherine Lin<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>About me<\/h2><\/div>I\u2019m Catherine, a PhD student in the Rutka Lab. I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, double majoring in Neuroscience and Immunology with a minor in Psychology. My project focuses on application of magnetic-resonance guided focused ultrasound in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Why Science?<\/h2><\/div>I think it\u2019s fun to learn more about how humans and different biological systems work, especially since the findings can be used to help better the world. I think I\u2019ve just always been interested in the neuroscience\/psychology\/\u201cbrain\u201d field, but that really developed during undergraduate when I learned more about the topic, along with a new interest in immunology too. I don\u2019t think I have a particular reason for pursuing science other than it\u2019s something I find enjoyable.<\/p>\n<\/div>
What is your favourite part about working at the BTRC?<\/h2><\/div>I think it\u2019s fun to learn more about how humans and different biological systems work, especially since the findings can be used to help better the world.

I don\u2019t think I have a particular reason for pursuing science other than it\u2019s something I find enjoyable.<\/p>\n<\/div>
What advice do you have for anyone interested in a career in science?<\/h2><\/div>I think it\u2019s good to explore different lab and research environments before making a decision. If you\u2019re interested in the research aspect of science, it\u2019s good to try that out first, for example during undergraduate or in the summer. Lab dynamics is also something to consider, maybe you\u2019re more comfortable in a smaller lab vs. a bigger lab, or how social the lab is outside of work vs. just having a work relationship. Mainly just know what type of environment you would feel the most comfortable and supported in, and to join a lab (or company if industry) similar to your preference.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Hobbies and interests?<\/h2><\/div>I enjoy reading books and cuddling with my cats. I\u2019ve also started crocheting lately and that\u2019s very relaxing. I also love eating desserts and sweets, probably too much to be healthy though. Recently, I\u2019ve been convinced to go snowboarding so that\u2019s a developing hobby right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>
If a celebrity were to play you in a movie about your life, who would it be and why?<\/h2><\/div>I\u2019m not too sure but I think Emma Watson is cool and funny.<\/p>\n<\/div>

I don\u2019t think I have a particular reason for pursuing science other than it\u2019s something I find enjoyable.<\/p>\n<\/div>
What is your favourite part about working at the BTRC?<\/h2><\/div>My favourite part about working at the BTRC is the support and expertise that is available. Everyone here is very knowledgeable and experts in the field. There are many opportunities to learn new things and hear about what others are doing.<\/p>\n<\/div>
What advice do you have for anyone interested in a career in science?<\/h2><\/div>I think it\u2019s good to explore different lab and research environments before making a decision. If you\u2019re interested in the research aspect of science, it\u2019s good to try that out first, for example during undergraduate or in the summer. Lab dynamics is also something to consider, maybe you\u2019re more comfortable in a smaller lab vs. a bigger lab, or how social the lab is outside of work vs. just having a work relationship. Mainly just know what type of environment you would feel the most comfortable and supported in, and to join a lab (or company if industry) similar to your preference.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Hobbies and interests?<\/h2><\/div>I enjoy reading books and cuddling with my cats. I\u2019ve also started crocheting lately and that\u2019s very relaxing. I also love eating desserts and sweets, probably too much to be healthy though. Recently, I\u2019ve been convinced to go snowboarding so that\u2019s a developing hobby right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>
I\u2019m not too sure but I think Emma Watson is cool and funny.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Catherine Lin<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span><\/div>About me<\/h2><\/div>I\u2019m Catherine, a PhD student in the Rutka Lab. I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, double majoring in Neuroscience and Immunology with a minor in Psychology. My project focuses on application of magnetic-resonance guided focused ultrasound in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Why Science?<\/h2><\/div>I think it\u2019s fun to learn more about how humans and different biological systems work, especially since the findings can be used to help better the world. I think I\u2019ve just always been interested in the neuroscience\/psychology\/\u201cbrain\u201d field, but that really developed during undergraduate when I learned more about the topic, along with a new interest in immunology too. I don\u2019t think I have a particular reason for pursuing science other than it\u2019s something I find enjoyable.<\/p>\n<\/div>
