Undergraduate Researcher
June - August 2022 • Bethlehem, PA
What I liked
The active role I played in experimentation and choosing what issues to follow in our research. I also liked the variety in each day of my internship—some days were spent doing optical alignment while others I spent with collaborators synthesizing gels.
What I wish was different
I wish we had worked with a greater variety of samples.
Advice
Work from the beginning to synthesize your research and summarize justifications for each part.
