Sperling, who conducted her research as a doctoral student at USC, said the new findings point to a deeper problem - not just a isual deficit - affecting all areas of perception.
This is the valuable new awareness I brought away from my externship, and I have now decided to apply for graduate programs in epidemiology and public health.
There's always a constant fear of falling behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated race to the finish line, whether that be toward graduate school, medical school or lucrative career.
Now I had to set up my programme of research in three different countries so I approached post graduates in my field in overseas departments, contacting them by email, to organise things for me at their end.
I truly believe that through my postgraduate study, I will broaden my horizons, cultivate my professional quality, and enhance my comprehensive abilities.
Some students may feel that preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam is too much pressure for them to handle during their final year of undergraduate studies.
Others are headed to graduate school; some will go off to serve your country, or community; some to a well-deserved rest just to take in the lay of the land before setting off on new adventures.
And look, employment information, grad student opportunities, a lot of opportunities are going to be listed on bulletin boards on campus so do that and also follow your school's social media accounts as well.
