What impact did the program have on your professional life? 

The program had much influence on my professional life.   

1. I had exposure to many different fields, allowing me to become a much better autodidact and entering new fields much more easily, an important skill for a data scientist.
2. thanks to the program, I ended up learning two B.Sc. in physics and applied math, which was a very useful and interesting starting point for me, both for job applications and for doing my M.Sc. in applied math.
3. I got my first job as a junior data scientist due to a lecture in the program - a previous student had come to give a lecture, and we ended up talking a lot after the talk, and he suggested I apply to a position in his company and advocated for me.
4. my M.Sc. advisor was also a previous student in the program, and it was likely a factor in taking me into his lab.

 Your message to the new generation of students in the program: 

my main message to new students in the program - be curious! Do projects, courses and other things that interest you, just because. You will have an interesting, fun time, and almost every random thing I did was eventually useful.
