Hello,

I'm Steph, I'm 23, and an Australian-born, France-raised, England-dwelling aspiring surgeon.
I've spent the last 5 years developing my knowledge of brains with a degree in Psychology, a Masters in Cognitive Neuroscience, and all sorts of research experience in a lab devoted to the Science of Consciousness (think brain scans and Oculus Rifts)
I'm moving back to Australia to take the GAMSAT and get myself into Med school, via the Australian Army.

:) That's about it.

Welcome from another n00b.

Whereabouts in France did you grow up? I lived there for four years - Seine-et-Marne, Aveyron and Lot-et-Garonne.

Greetings, and welcome to Geekzone.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

I spent most of my time on the South coast (Cannes/Grasse/Valbonne/ Sophia Antipolis) area.
My parents still live in Grasse, so it's nice to go back and enjoy the food and sun.

:)

What possessed you to move to France for half a decade?

They're roughly equivalent depending on the country, I think.
Still super cool, though! :)

EDIT: By the way, you guys are so nice, I feel very welcome. Thanks.

You should move to NZ :)

At the risk of losing a new user, Whirpool in Australia is the equivalent of Geekzone in NZ....

Ooh very nice!

As for me, I was hired by EuroDisney (as it still was then) when I lived in England, so moved to France to work for them.
