Student Spotlight Matthew Halma University of Alberta Department of Physics

As you move forward in science, what type of research do you see yourself doing? Why? A specific study program may seem limiting, but if you keep an open mind, you may be able to spin it into something far greater than initially expected. The flipside of this is the need for radical responsibility, taking full ownership of one’s own path. There is the potential for great freedom, but you will have to keep yourself accountable in order to meet goals. Along with this is the responsibility to maintain proper self-care outside of one’s professional career, and make sure that efforts are sustainable over the long run.
