Presently, I work as a theoretical biologist in HIV research. This work requires extensive computer programming in several languages. Hence, I have found that being a quick learner has been beneficial. The work also requires communication among many different scientists working in different scientific disciplines. Working within a broad communication arena has dramatically improved my abilities to work with others on highly divergent projects.
