You do NOT need a PhD to work in research!!! 😃 There are tonssss of jobs out there for people without a PhD degree 🤩 and doing research couldn’t be done without these individuals! 🤓 
☀️
☀️
☀️
For example! Being a research associate or analyst! These are people who help think practically, set up, perform, and analyze experiments 👩‍🔬 These are people who often get to do the fun lab work and not too much of the desk work 😊 That’s not to say there isn’t any desk work, that’s there too! 😉 You’re just more of an applied scientist 🤩
☀️
☀️
☀️
These jobs come in many forms btw! 🤩 They occur in clinical trials (think Clinical Research Associate or CRA) 👩‍💻 In academia as analysts in research groups 🧬 and in industry in various departments like R&D, QC, or Validation 😊 The opportunities are seemingly endless! 🤩 So if you decide a PhD isn’t for you, that’s OKAY! 😁 You can still be a scientist and contribute to meaningful research ✨
