Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I analysed transcriptomic data. I used existing packages to identify interesting or key genes.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not really but that might be to do with it being an remote position. I didn't have much contact with people throughout my project.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Some but mostly to do with my softer skills such as communication. They didn't end up teaching me any new skills. I ended up using all of my current PhD skills.
