Immunology Researcher (career help)

Helloo! I’m currently in Year 12 in Australia (vic) and I’m really interested in pursuing a career in immunology. I’m planning to complete a Bachelor of Science majoring in immunology, and completing honours and maybe even a PhD afterwards. I’ve been doing a lot of research into different careers, but I’m still a little confused about the differences between roles like immunologists and immunology researchers.

I was hoping to get some insight into what the day-to-day life is actually like for someone working in these fields — what kind of tasks you do, what your work environment is like, and what education/pathway you completed to get there. Do you enjoy the work-life balance and career opportunities? What is the pay like? (if you feel comfortable sharing!)

I would love to study and research pathogens and immune responses.

Would really appreciate hearing about your experiences or any advice!

Medical Science/Immunology (career advice)

Helloo! I’m currently in Year 12 in Australia and I’m really interested in pursuing a career in medical science. I’ve fallen in love with immunology, so I’m planning to complete a Bachelor of Science majoring in immunology, and completing honours and maybe even a masters afterwards. I’ve been doing a lot of research into different careers, but I’m still a little confused about the differences between roles like medical scientists and immunologists

A lot of what I’ve read about medical scientists seems to focus more on hospital diagnostic lab work, whereas I think I’m more interested in the research side of things, like studying pathogens and immune responses.

hiii! I wanted to make my friends blind-box clay figurines of themselves as graduation gifts and had a few questions! I'm planning on making the figurines out of air-dry clay and I don't have any way to glaze them. Would clear nail polish work as a substitute if I wanted a semi-glossy final look?

It's also my first time working with clay so if anyone has any tips, they'd be much appreciated!
