Now you might think the answer to this question is OSOWs, but in fact they come from a wide variety of Undergraduate degrees!
We just updated our members background pie chart. Since early 2016, the proportion of physicists has been sliced in half (hurrah!) and the proportion of chemists has increased 50% (hurrah! — I’ll let you guess what I studied). Chemists also occupy 4 of the 5 most senior roles within the group; I’m not saying correlation is causation but…
The proportion of biochemists has also greatly increased, and more OPIGlets chose to study UG courses that span multiple disciplines, such as Biomedical Engineering and Mathematical Biology. Seems like the message that the future lies between the conventional disciplines is beginning to sink in!
