What I liked
I like to solve problems in lab. I have learned a lots lab works and lab techniques. For example, when i fail in doing protein mutations, i did research and double check every single step. i took note and reviewed it. I asked my partner and my professor until i got the mutation. Solving problem help you increase your experiences and discover new things. I like to see cells grow and make protein.
