Why did you join the lab?

I had a summer stipend to use and every lab I applied to rejected me. So with only a few days left to apply for the stipend, I see Heather’s post in an honors email and immediately apply. That sounds bad but I desperately wanted to be involved in a lab over the summer. I had previously been thinking about unique independent research projects I could do and the main idea included water quality, so there was some connection. I’m really glad all those other labs rejected me, haha.

What did you do in the lab while you were there?

I’m working in a pharma lab in Cambridge, MA where I help with chemical experiments, quality testing, and instrument calibrations.
