An Interview With Professor Kate Denton
Written by Carla Edgley
Pictured above: Dr Kate Denton in her Lab.
So far, in my very short time as a Science Ambassador I’ve noticed a question that always pops up when speaking to future students; not many know the many career possibilities a Science degree can lead to. Realising this I decided to speak to someone who has had a prominent career in Science and could give future students an idea about a career in research, just one of the possibilities a Bachelor of Science at Monash can lead to.

Introducing: Career Goat, Lisa Happell
Did you know that science have their very own Careers Education Consultant? We are the only faculty to have this. That consultant would be me ‘Lisa Happell’.
I have been in the role for nearly two years and really enjoy working with students to help them with their career decisions. Throughout the year I will run a range of career seminars and events and every week I have individual (30 minute) career appointments available
You will find me (usually with coffee) on Tuesdays to Thursday in the Science Student Lounge and Science Student Services. If you would like to talk about your career in science or if you have no idea about careers in science then please book an appointment with me via ‘Career Gateway’.
I look forward to meeting you to discuss all things ‘Career’.
Career Goat: Should I start thinking about my career?
Hi Lisa! I’m in my 5th year of a 4 year double degree, my grades are pretty average, and right now I’m just focused on getting through. Should I be thinking about my career now, and what should I be doing? Sincerely, Tim
Dear Tim,
Thank you so much for your question. It is really important to start thinking about your career now. It doesn’t need to be arduous task. I have a 15/5 rule so 15 minutes a day 5 days a week. There is a career model (SODI) that can be used as a tool to start with the 15/5.
