Conference can be really fun if you go with the right people! 🤣💕 It was the first time for me to give an oral presentation in a big conference and it was so fun! It felt so good when people engaged and asked questions. It means that they understand what I am talking about. 🤣☺️ Helping with the BME booth was also super fun because I got to talk to young and passionate people. It was so fulfilling. ☺️ And of course I stayed longer to explore San Diego. It is a cute little city with beaches that are too cold for me. 🤣🥶 #sandiego #bmes2025 #cmubme #conference #imbellelaintheus

𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭: 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐲 𝐌𝐒𝐜 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦. I mean, I didn’t attend my convocation nor did I wear my own graduation gown. Why? My university required acceptance of an SCI paper before reviewing my thesis—a process that took about 6 months (significant for a 2-year MSc program). Let’s call it God’s divine plan 😉. Yet, by faith, I graduated myself before my school did! 😂 Any MSc gown you’ve seen me in was kindly lent by my dear friend @joeldisu93 , who let me capture memorable photos. Another fact: I wasn’t on a full scholarship in China 🇨🇳. My first full scholarship experience came during my current PhD. Although tuition was covered, financial survival was challenging. How did I survive? 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐇. God funded it all! There were days I literally looked up to heaven, asking God for daily provision (Psalm 121). Feeling full enough to skip meals felt like a victory, ensuring I had provisions for the coming days. Thankfully, those days are history now. Why share this? Because it has always been about 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐇. Without that bold step to pursue my MSc—despite uncertainty and financial constraints—I wouldn’t have: ✅ Earned an MSc from a top-4 university in China (Top 50 globally). ✅ Started a registered startup through a special entrepreneur visa for top talents, sponsored by the Zhenjiang government to attract graduates from elite Chinese universities. ✅ Qualified for the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Post-Study Work Visa, specifically designed for graduates of top 200 universities worldwide—allowing me to work, and explore Europe before starting my PhD in Australia. ✅ Built the profile and skills for my bioinformatics career and PhD. The truth is, obstacles will always exist. You may never have complete certainty that your next move is failure-proof—but if it’s something God has placed in your heart (Philippians 2:13), take the leap! Your success lies just beyond your fears. What’s holding you back today? P.S.: I still don’t have it all figured out. Do I still doubt myself, even as a final-year PhD student? Many times! Yet, I hope my story encourages someone. #faith #God #story
