Undergraduate Researcher
May - August 2019 • Beaver Island, MI
What I liked
Got hands-on experience performing laboratory and field research, experimental design, and professional development.
What I wish was different
The research topic could have been more focused, with a little more preparation, as well as mentor contact.
Advice
This was an REU, and it was well worth it. I made connections with peers and faculty, got to gain research and laboratory experience in biological topics, and got to explore and visit a new place! I recommend an REU to anyone looking to get involved in research or a laboratory position in the future.
