Last year, I met with Rahim, Kaleb and Melanie to discuss how to analyze the data about the eye’s optic. It was an educational moment for me when I found that human vision is different between those with and without diabetes. My learning journey did not end there. I am usually quite hands-on with the data analysis bits, but not this time. Both Rahim and Kaleb analyzed the data and interpreted the results by themselves with minimal guidance from me. I am very proud to see their work at the Canadian Association of Physicist Congress.

As part of my job, I coach and guide student consultants to work on interdisciplinary projects. From experience, I have found most consultants have strong technical skills to perform an analysis but lack various soft skills.
