Absolutely agree! In pharmacy, knowing software isn’t just a bonus—it’s becoming a must. I started with Excel and GraphPad Prism, and even basic skills helped a lot during lab work and presentations. It’s not about mastering everything at once, but picking one and actually using it in your projects makes a big difference. These tools really boost confidence and open up new opportunities
