"As someone who has followed INBIO's journey for a long time, it cannot be imagined to be an internal here. Not only fostered to complete the project, I was also forged to really be able to become an expert researcher with various Inbio facilities that were free specifically. And here I'm like to show a lot of appreciation and thanks to my supervisor Mr. Didik Huswo Utomo who remains willing to guide me intensively despite super busy. My learning journey hasn't been that smooth, but I've definitely learning plenty of things which I believe will lead me somewhere in this field!"

"The internship is very useful because it provides various facilities including free online courses, free bootcamps, and even the opportunity to collaborate on real projects so that we can immediately implement the knowledge we gain. Previously I was still very new to the topic of bioinformatics, but after the internship I gained a lot of knowledge. Apart from that, we are also taught how to write scientific articles to their publication. I also got new friends to expand my networking"

"The freedom to explore in determining the topic or title of in silico research is supported by the capability of INBIO supervisors who support the learning process and achieve outputs (publishing articles and participating in greeting conferences). There are lots of free facilities by INBIO, and they are communicative to each intern participant."

"I am very grateful to be able to join INBIO Indonesia even as an intern, because the knowledge and experience gained is really expensive"

"INBIO memberikan kesempatan belajar bioinformatika dengan fasilitas berupa askes pembelajaran yang tak terhingga. Murid juga bisa mengaplikasikan secara langsung pengetahuannya melalui kelompok riset dengan output publikasi yang sangat baik. Dukungan dari komunitas bioinformatika ini sangat membantu dalam memecahkan masalah dan mengeksplorasi keanekaragaman biologi dari sudut pandang yang berbeda"

"INBIO internship program has trained me to work like a real-world scientist. This research-focused program thought me doing research from scratch till the publication, which I have never got from my undergraduate degree. Apart from the flexible schedule, the best part was the super friendly and skilful supervisor that patiently led and guided me throughout my research journey. Not only that, I have gained a bioinformatics community and connection with scientists across Indonesia and overseas. I am grateful and proud to be INBIO intern and would very much recommended it to all students in Indonesia to join if you once dream to be a scientist. Totally a mind-opening and life-changing opportunity. Never miss a chance!"

Bunch of thanks to INBIO for the unlimited support and room to grow myself from an early career into future independent researcher; for the fruitful brainstorming and discussion session; for the opportunity to share and extend my limited knowledge in oncology; for the guidance and navigation into Indonesian research culture. More challenge to come to realize "research made easy"
