God bless her she's such a good clear speaker and so intelligent
As a little Muslim teenager who aspires to be a future biomedical engineer I found this very inspiring and thank the lovely girl for shedding light on what it truly does mean to be a biomedical engineer I really can’t wait
Glad I could be of assistance! Learning about this kinda stuff in AP bio last year inspired me more than anything I've read about in school so far. Knowing that that class barely scratches the surface of what it means to be a biologist/bioengineer excites me so much for the future!
Biomedical engineering is worthless
radnukespeoplesminds Why
radnukespeoplesminds boo
@@radnukespeoplesminds the epitome of r/iamverysmart, alright professor tell me how you are saving us from Coronavirus with your Godly knowledge of quantum physics.
here I am, lying in bed and asking myself if I should study today or tomorrow for my anatomy exam. thanks to this woman, I‘m going to study immediately! thank you
Same here! But I have an exam on energy and material balances of bio processes.
Love this talk, I'm currently studying Biomedical Engineering at University. Feeling so inspired after watching this, keep it up!
Thanks! Good luck, keep up with your studies!
Same here, she is smart,
good presentation @sofia
whats it like im applying for college right now
How did you know it was for you?
@@tessely_solano2217 love science and engineering basically
As a researcher in biomaterials field is so nice to see how our object of study is so diverse and brings so much curiosity and wonder in all people. Even i´m in the area for almost 10 years, brings me joy see others just talking or teaching something related. Sometimes, when i´m down because of all the types of difficulties we can found working fully as a researcher, see talks like that gives me hope and reminds me why i choose and keep choosing that :)
i was always super interested in bio but engineering, i was often told, is nothing for girls. Being a girl about to finish HIgh school and wanting to go to uni seeing another girl on stage talk with such passion about a topic i always loved, motivates me and gives me courage. So, Thank You!
Hope you achieved your dream. I’m a girl to about to enter uni. I’m gonna major in engineering 🎉
how did it go? I'm in my last hs year and I'm kinda in bio engneering
here I am as a high school senior and this solidified my desire to pursue biomedical engineering as my major
@Mawntain uhh yikes check up on your research, all engineering majors secure a job. engineering is the basis of everything. who built the vaccine? biomedical engineers.
@@chloes1308 discovery of vaccine for covid is done by Scientists (and they have md degree and are involved in research)... The Research in video is more inclined towards biomedical sciences not biomedical engineering...
@@chloes1308 pharmacist can built the vaccine not Biomed engr
hows that going?
Adding amino acids to cover the combinations that would otherwise not be accessible, it's the first time I've heard of this and it blew me away.
Wonderful presentation, Sofia! Thank you.
Love it ! ❤❤❤❤
It motivated me
Bless this girl she's so cute!
Thanks. Been holding off on watching my own talk but I'm glad to see people are enjoying it
You did a GREAT job! Fascinating!
Awesome! I've been a Respiratory Therapist for almost 10 years and am looking to become a BME and work for NASA one day!
Go 4 it
I love this, it will be really big someday, Biomedical engineering that is. As long as we continue to integrate and modify the latest feats in computer engineering we can tie it to our own studies and make life greater. Like Pure Math and Applied math are related. Sofia Mehmood what year of study are you?
She's amazing
I'm about to start Biomedical Engineering. I don't know what exactly expect, but I feel excited.
I have a question for you, Sofia. I hope you see this... Do you think Biomedical Engineers needs imagination and that kind of stuff? I'm very scared about that because I'm not sure if I will be enough.
Everything needs imagination, if you are scared, that is good you don't have an ego, which is bad in this field. Always ask for help if you don't understand stuff, and don't learn just what professors tell you to learn. Always have a book out of your field just for fun and to learn. In Slovenia we are very much multitasking, i am helping on biomedical program and also on condense matter, as we have the same department. So always have an open mind, because those fields can connect in different ways.
Good luck from me :)
As a 3rd a student in biomedical engineering, I'd say you need to be able to think how to take smtg you learn in science, maths and nature and apply it to the medical field. This is really hard hence why as medical engineers we learn almost every major topic in engineering, from mechanics to programming to fluids and medical sciences. However, we don't specialise in anything specifically which is a blessing and a curse as looking for a job is really hard to specify what you are good at since you'll be able to do anything but not as well as someone from doing an engineering degree on that subject. For example, programming, as a medical engineering student, I know am I better in programming than most engineering students but not as good as a software engineer hence applying a job in IT seems daunting to me. So keep that in mind but otherwise its the future of the engineering world and alot of potentials are yet to tapped into.
Hi Tatiana, hope all is well. Along with what other people said, having a broad imagination is seldom a bad thing. But it's important to never lose track that you're in a scientific field that is logic driven. If you have an out of the box idea that implements a fundamentally scientific concept, great! Test it, research it. But you can't go pulling things out of thin air. I echo the advice of the other commentators when I say it's a good sign to be a little nervous. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Scientists are generally eager to explain their work. Good luck!
This was great and rather inspiring for my own endeavours. Thanks Sofia!
Glad to be of assistance! Good luck to you in everything you do
this is an interesting and casually hilarious talk
I tried my best!
@@meh_sofia you did great
interesting lecture tbh. thanks ate girl good job up there 👍
ate girl HADSHSAHA
It's gonna be. Groundbreaking discovery
This was so inspiring i love it
This is so well said.
Thanks for an interesting lecture
Thank you!
This is so inspiring 😌 I'm almost done with my Biomed Engineering degree and I can't wait to get involved in this
We are same. If you start to do something change. Please guide me too
I'm also trying to get admission in biomedical engineering. It's good to know there are really passionate people out there..
Carry on, i hope I'll meet you there somewhere half way. 😄
@@PRINCE-zg2yl yaaaas 😌 I wish you well on your journey
she’s inspiring
She's quite an engaging speaker and handles accidents well. Loved the talk ❤
So good
Is UCSD a good school for bio engineering?
She's quite fantastic congrats to her
Interested
My 12 yr old daughter is interested in biomedical engineering, how can i help get started or get her more involved at a young age?
You can always sign up for STEM camps
with robotics programs
I wasn't really super into this field of study until I took AP Bio in high school. But definitely nurture the scientific curiosity she has by encouraging her to ask good questions and implement the experimental design process to answer them. Sounds complicated but it can really be implemented anywhere! Encouraging scientific and logical thinking is really the most important part of raising good scientists
Definitely get her more into the sciences (biology, chemistry, physics) and math. Show her that they're more than subjects--that she can use them as "second languages," so to speak. The earlier, the better. Also encourage her to develop good study habits, that will help her in high school and college when things get a tad bit more difficult. I'm in my senior year of college as a Biomedical Engineer, and I wish I had discovered better study habits much earlier.
see what programs her school may offer or the school district, often on the district website
also, don't force it on her (obviously) don't push her too hard so to driver her away from it
I aspire to become a BME graduate hopefully and I will come back to this comment when I have!
we should go more towards nourishising human being
Hi, do you use animal testing in biomedical engineering?
Hello sofia M. Iam really feeling happy to watch your Biomedical Engineering research. My questions are. From where you belong? How did you chosen that area of research? Is this your masters work or pHd? Iam a fresh graduate from liaquat University of medical health and science Pakistan. What should i do? I have worked on bio materials. Thanks :)
Hi Khurshid! Glad you enjoyed the talk. I'm from the greater Philadelphia area but my family also hails from Pakistan! I was in high school when I gave this talk but I am an undergraduate now. So, neither masters nor PhD, but the plan is to eventually have an MD.
@@meh_sofia I wish you best of luck.
@@meh_sofia Thanks for the response, since you're planing to go to med school, what undergrad did you took?
We need more women like you in stem!
Amazing! I'm a senior Biomedical Engineering major (graduating next spring).
What is your opinion of this major?
Aya brkat I honestly love it. It’s challenging but rewarding. I love science and math, and biomedical engineering is about applying those two things to help people medically. I wouldn’t pick any other field tbh
@@lydjoy3385 is the career path of this field really promising?
Are you going to get further education or just enter the workforce after you graduate?
@@sleep4life812 I'm planning on entering the workforce! I thought about grad school but honestly with covid still going on, that's not a priority right now. I'm not trying to become a professor or do intense research, so grad school isn't really important
💖💖
watched
The alphabet was super easy to understand
Thank you!
Are these biomedical engineering questions or molecular medicine questions?
I was going for biomed but can definitely see how molecular medicine might fit these questions more neatly
molecular med can be an integral component in biomed
Is biomedical engineering same as medical engineering…also will doing medical physics be a advantage for this ?
Can anyone tell me if you can become an Biomedical Engineer with a degree in I.T or Information Technology?
Do u have any answers yet
@@babou5717 No not really you typically can't you need a masters as per me I do Software development now
@@lighthousedimlights6404 in the medical field?
Can a doctor become a biomedical engineer in india
NICE MOMENT
Thank you!
I think I am in love with her
What happens when the T-cell is wrongly reprogrammed
That joke was so painful, it hurt so much
Imagine how I felt brother. The worst moment of my life is immortalized on the internet and I can't do anything about it.
Someone please reply
I am a chemistry graduate and now I am planning to do biomedical engineering as my masters and I got into a prestigious university. Is it going to be too hard for me since I am not from an engineering background and is there good job opportunities for BME out there?
I’m currently studying bme as a undergrad and it isn’t hard, you need to find what you are interested in since it’s such a broad subject. For example I’m interested in drug delivery and regenerative medicine. Both of these 2 specializations require the knowledge of chemistry, material science and engineering.
@@samamuhit2531 thankyou Nora for replying. But I have not many knowledge on the engineering field and I have subjects like computer aided design which I haven't studied before . So it is easy to grasp subjects like this?
@@gilnajames4532 going into bme I had no previous knowledge of CAD or any type of software engineering. But I was able to learn with trial and error! I actually found out that I wasn’t really into the electronics side of bme and stuck with the biological/ chemistry aspect of it. It isn’t too difficult to learn it just takes practice like everything else!
@@samamuhit2531 hi, I'm so confused and scared because I have red a lot that the path is really hard for biomedical engineers to find a job, how has bien your experience?
@@julioleonandrade1939 don’t be! There are so many opportunities in BME! There are job opportunities in healthcare/ medicine and the general industry. BME is known to be a Jack of all trades you just have to find something within bme and stick with it. Obviously there are going to be topics in Bme that you won’t be interested in, but when you do focus on a specific specialization within bme and you will be okay!
Sounds complicated
So complicated I lost my train of thought!
Such is the mentality of jace avatars
I am final year medical student from Bangladesh.
Can i do masters/higher degree in biomedical Engineering?
You can, obviously.
Yes, btw how are you doing now?
I don't know if I should follow biomedical engineering or biomedical sciences, which one will have the most impact on human health and longevity?
biomedical enginering is going to be more promising and more entrepreneurial opportunities in the future, right?
biomedical engineering is the most suitable for medical nanorobos (that will help us, being within our bloodstream) and machine-person interface/ upload the mind to a computer?
which one will have the most impact on cryonics, to conserve humans to resurrect later?
in short: will human health and longevity be closer to science or technology?
well both are important, and are only going to have as much impact as what you choose to do within them. Go for what you can see yourself doing
What I noticed while applying to schools is that a lot of schools have different names for the same thing. Yes, there are very slight differences between biomedical engineering, biomedical sciences, bioengineering, etc but their research areas are largely the same and there is a lot of overlap. You should be able to pursue any of what you mentioned above with any biomedical related major.
Put the medicine on my potato chips
I am a biomedical engineer. People this field isn’t that attractive. Go into tech
bellissimo
