Field of studies Bioinformatics (studies in Polish) - Technical Academy of Informatics in Applied Sciences (Akademia Techniczno-Informatyczna w Naukach Stosowanych), ATINS (Wrocław) - Cryptography - Bachelor's and Master's programmes in Poland

1. Are you interested in applying computational methods to biological data (e.g., genomes, proteins, systems biology)?

Yes, that combination excites me Somewhat, I'm curious Not really

2. Do you enjoy programming (e.g., Python, R) or want to learn it to analyze datasets?

Absolutely, I like coding Somewhat, I can learn No, I prefer non-coding work

3. Are you curious about statistics and probabilistic modeling for interpreting noisy biological measurements?

Yes, understanding uncertainty matters to me Somewhat, I’m open to it Not really

4. Do you enjoy working with large datasets and building pipelines to preprocess and integrate data?

Yes, data engineering appeals to me Somewhat, I can handle it I prefer small-scale tasks

5. Are you interested in machine learning or pattern recognition to discover biological insights?

Definitely, predictive modeling excites me Somewhat, I’d like to learn No, I prefer deterministic analysis

6. Are you motivated by understanding molecular mechanisms, evolution, or systems-level behavior through computation?

Yes, biological interpretation matters to me A bit, I’m intrigued Not particularly

7. Do you enjoy interdisciplinary collaboration—working with biologists, computer scientists, and statisticians?

Yes, that blend suits me Somewhat, I can adapt I prefer working within one field

8. Are you attentive to data quality, reproducibility, and careful documentation of analyses?

Yes, rigor is important to me Somewhat, I try to be careful I prioritize speed over strict documentation

9. Do you care about ethical issues around genomic data, privacy, and responsible use of biological information?

Yes, ethics is a priority Somewhat, I want to learn more Not really

10. Are you excited by continuous learning, as both biology and computation evolve rapidly?

Yes, staying updated motivates me Somewhat, I adapt gradually I prefer stable, well-known tools
