Florence Downs ungumhleli ku Ingenia, i-Royal Academy of Engineering ephrinta mahhala ukufunda nomagazini we-inthanethi wabantu abasha abathanda i-STEM. Ufunde i-physics eNyuvesi yaseBristol, e-UK, ngaphambi kokwenza i-DPhil ku-synthetic biology e-University of Oxford.
Yimaphi amakhono owasebenzisa nsuku zonke emsebenzini wakho?
Njengomhleli, ingxenye enkulu yomsebenzi wami yenza lokho kanye - ukuhlela. Ngokubanzi, ngichitha isikhathi sami ngibheka indlela yokuxoxa indaba ngokucacile ngangokunokwenzeka kumfundi. Isikhathi esiningi lokho kungase kuhilele ukuhlela kabusha kancane kanye nokungqubuzana kwegrama. Kwesinye isikhathi kubiza ukuthi kubhalwe kabusha okuningi, futhi umbhali kimi akakwazi ukuzibamba kodwa ajabule ngalezo zikhathi. Ngibhala izingcezu ezimfushane zemagazini futhi, ngakho ngizama ukuthuthukisa izindlela zami zokuxoxa izindaba, ukuxoxisana namanye amakhono “okubhala” ngaphezulu.
Ukusebenzisa ingqondo enelukuluku kuyangisiza ukuba ngibone ukuthi indaba (kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yinde noma imfushane kangakanani) okungenzeka ukuthi ayikho. Ukuba nesizinda sesayensi kusiza kakhulu ngalokho. Ukujabula ukunamathela esifundweni esisha - uma ungakubiza lokho ngekhono - kuyinto ewusizo kuwo wonke umsebenzi engibe nawo futhi eyacijwa ngempela ngesikhathi ngineziqu ze-physics. Ngaphandle kwayo, bekungeke kwenzeke ukugxuma phakathi kwezifundo zesayensi futhi, ekugcineni, ngizithole ngisezweni lobunjiniyela.
Njenganoma yimuphi umsebenzi, kuhlale kunezinga lokuphotha amapuleti. Ukuphatha zonke izici ezincane zendima - kusukela ezincwadini zezindaba kuya ekuhlaziyeni kwewebhu - kubalulekile.
Yini oyithanda kakhulu futhi okuncane kakhulu ngomsebenzi wakho?
Ngithanda izinto eziningi ngakho. Mhlawumbe okuyinhloko ukuthi ngihlala ngifunda. Nsuku zonke ngithola ukwanelisa ilukuluku lami elivuthayo - ukufunda ngobuchwepheshe obusha nokuthi onjiniyela benza kanjani umhlaba ube indawo engcono. Ngiyi-magpie kancane ngakho ngiyabonga ukuthi ingxenye nengxenye yalo msebenzi ukudonswa ezintweni ezicwebezelayo nezithokozisayo.
Kuphinde kube nenqubo yokubona i-athikili iqhuma futhi ekugcineni iba nokwakheka. Kudala kakhulu (futhi kujabulisa kakhulu) ukucabanga ngalokho okumele kukhavwe kanye nendlela yokuqondisa ucezu endleleni efanele. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kuwumzamo ohlangene, futhi lokho kwehlela kuwo wonke umuntu odlayo kuwo, kusukela ebhodini lethu labahleli kanye nethimba kuya kubabhali abazimele.
U-Moiya McTier: kusuka kusosayensi kuya kumxhumanisi wesayensi
Ngiyabonga ngokufunda kubantu abaningi abakhuthazayo - onjiniyela kuzo zonke izigaba zemisebenzi yabo kanye nabaxhumanisi besayensi yokudala nababhali. Ugqozi luvela ngakolunye uhlangothi futhi. Kuvamisile ukuthi ngixoxisane nomuntu futhi inani alizuzile ngaphambi kokuba ngihlanganise iminyaka engu-25 lizongishaya ingqondo.
Engikuthanda kakhulu ukuthi asikho isikhathi esanele ngosuku sokuphishekela yonke indatshana nemibono yephrojekthi esinayo. Kungaba ucingo olunzima ukukhetha okuthile ozokubeka kuqala futhi kufanele ubeke okunye eceleni okwamanje.
Yini oyaziyo namuhla ofisa ukuyazi ngesikhathi uqala umsebenzi wakho?
Nakanjani lokhu: yeka ukukhathazeka kakhulu futhi wazi ukuthi konke kuzohamba kahle. Ngifunde okuningi esigabeni ngasinye somsebenzi wami futhi ngingathanda ukuzitshela okwami okwedlule ukuze nje ngikujabulele. Lokho, ngenhlanhla, bekungesinye sezeluleko ezinhle kakhulu enganikwa zona mayelana ne-PhD viva yami.
