Description

One life. Many pathways through science.

Step into the life of a student beginning a career in science and decide what happens next. Every choice shapes your future. Will you pursue a PhD in immunology? Launch a biotech start-up? Move across the world for research? Become a science communicator, entrepreneur, patient advocate, professor, or something nobody saw coming?

Inspired by real careers in biomedical science, this interactive branching story explores the setbacks, breakthroughs, friendships, ethical dilemmas, lucky breaks, and spectacular mistakes that shape scientific lives. Some careers lead to world-changing discoveries. Many take unexpected twists and turns before finding success. Often, a career in science takes you somewhere entirely unexpected.

Written by scientists and educators Adrian Liston and James Dooley, this is a funny, honest, and surprisingly realistic look at what it really means to build a life in science.

Choose wisely. Or don’t.

Science is full of unexpected results.
