Stepping out of my comfort zone! 🤞🏾 I decided to upskill and train as a #COVID #vaccinator ! 💉 It’s been an interesting experience learning a new skill, working though new fears, anxieties and trying to self-motivate! I’ve met amazing people along the way! Including @bibi521997 (featured in the last frame!) What have you done recently that’s pushed you out of your comfort zone? Comment below!

It has been a beautiful experience at The Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2022 PharmSci conference so far. I have met some amazing scientists working in different sectors in pharmaceutical science and found out about exciting emerging, breakthrough science! I will take forward all my experiences from the conference and hope to use them to make a difference!

I got an award! 🥳 It is truly an honour to receive The Academy Of Pharmaceutical Sciences 2022 Emerging Scientist Award @pfizeruk @pfizerinc ! This award means so much to me. I am grateful to The Academy Of Pharmaceutical Sciences for recognising and acknowledging by achievements in pharmaceutical sciences and scientific outreach! @theraimiabrahamgroup @kingsfightthefakes @mondayscience Thanks to my research group @theraimiabrahamgroup , my peers , my colleagues and mentors for their encouragement and support which has helped me reach this point. I will continue to work hard and strive toward my goals as a pharmacist and as a pharmaceutical scientist

Why does food taste different on ✈️?🤔 In this episode, I shared my experience of a conversation I had with a fellow passenger on a flight about airplane food! Click on the link https://www.bahijjaraimiabraham.com/ to watch the full video.

“Sometimes, you need to get away and take a little time for yourself. It’s okay to be selfish—you deserve it! You’ve got so much potential inside of you; sometimes, the best way to tap into that is by taking time out of your day for yourself. This doesn’t mean you should avoid your responsibilities; it just means that, when you get back from your “”””me time,”””” you’ll be ready to face your responsibilities with renewed energy and enthusiasm. So go on—take a walk in the park or read a book by the fireplace. You’re worth it!”

It’s an honour to be recognised by your peers, but there are a few things I have learnt about chasing your dream. ❤️ You must believe in yourself. ❤️ Don’t compare yourself to others (comparing is the thief of joy) ❤️ You have to be willing to do whatever it takes and make sacrifices to achieve your goals ❤️ Never stop learning, no matter how good or far behind you think you are.
