I liked working in a lab environment and meeting people who worked in the field.
What I wish was different
I wish that there had less time sitting at a desk and working hands on, but this is inevitable about research.
Advice
For anyone in a STEM field, I would advise them to do research. It was a great experience, and it made me realize that it was not something that I would want to as a profession. however, it was a good learning experience and something that I do not regret at all.
