Queen Mary provided me with the tools and freedom to shape my future aspirations. Queen Mary's close-knit community, emphasis on networking, and focus on transferable skills helped me grow as a scientist. My ambition is to pursue a PhD to bridge academic research with applied conservation and policymaking. Queen Mary has been instrumental in both my personal and professional development, and I am proud to be an SBBS alumnus.— Himmat Bakshi, Biodiversity and Conservation Msc, 2024, now a PhD student at Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn
