Alongside this you will also constantly engage with people who are more confident and those who are less confident than yourself. It is always a positive interaction when competence matches confidence of not.

Every now and again it is worth being reminded that research is hard and neuroscience research is a different breed of hard, especially if you are doing this in Ghana. This all seems like an obvious reality, so I guess the real reminder is "Do Hard Things"
