Chemistry Research Intern
January 2020 • Boca Raton, FL
What I liked
I enjoy everything about my research. I like how my P. I. allows me to learn and grow while showing me techniques I have never used before. I also enjoy how I have graduate students to help me understand the day to day activities of the lab.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been able to start before COVID-19. This is just to see what lab research was like before all the new regulations.
Advice
Do not be afraid to ask questions. I was always worried about looking incompetent, or just not remembering something from my studies. They would rather you ask for help then go on blindly and they enjoy teaching undergraduates.
