Different fields of science are like different languages. The deeper you go into a specific field, the more it feels like speaking a unique dialect. Scientists from different disciplines can generally understand one another and pick up a word or two, but it\u2019s still a different language. Anyone who has learned a new language knows the incredible feeling of finally being able to express themselves comfortably\u2014engaging in passionate discussions, cracking jokes, and truly connecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s exactly how I felt as part of the Chrom_Rare consortium. It was like finding people who speak the same dialect as me, and what a joy this past year has been! I\u2019ve had the opportunity to travel to new places, meet incredible people, and work on cutting-edge science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, this journey hasn\u2019t always been smooth. There were days when nothing seemed to work, making me feel like an imposter. But thankfully, those moments have been few and far between. Often, it feels like a never-ending video game: as soon as I master one skill to push my project forward, five new challenges appear, each demanding to be conquered. But I take it one step at a time, eager for what\u2019s ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Yunna Erika Str\u00f8m, a doctoral candidate in the MSCA Project Chrom_Rare. My passion lies in unraveling the wonders of chromatin dynamics through mass spectrometry-based proteomics, with a special focus on a technique called Proximity Labeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
