Another episode of codebar Stories is now liiiive! Today we're bringing you Katie Bickford, Junior Software Developer at the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science. Katie studied Biomedical Sciences before moving into medical communications and medical education, translating medical research into content for healthcare professionals. After being made redundant, she reached a crossroads: continue with the career she'd spent 10 years building, or take the opportunity to try something completely different. She chose the latter and made the leap into software development. Enjoy :) You can find this episode on all your podcast platforms! 🟢 Spotify - https://lnkd.in/d5_kjGSP 🟠 Amazon - https://lnkd.in/dmDqPiPa ⚫️ Apple - https://lnkd.in/ddP6xc3G
