Some may be looking for a job, others are searching for the right graduate school, and many more may have no idea what their plan is. I spent a lot of time debating what to do next, and in doing so, I looked back on my research experiences at Â鶹Éç and how they shaped me to be the student that I am today. My research is related to trace gas emissions from wetlands and reservoirs, and I use a lot of the skills that I’ve learned in my marine biology and earth science majors. There are many aspects of my research that I could talk about, but I’ve compiled a list of the three things that stand out to me the most from over the years in hopes of inspiring other undergraduates to get involved in research.

Yes, these things are important, but you can get so much more out of being an undergraduate researcher. I have learned how to form professional relationships and work in a research team, but most importantly I have gained confidence in myself. My research experience at Â鶹Éç began the summer after my sophomore year with a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), funded by the generous donors of the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research. I am majoring in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, and my SURF research, mentored by Dr. Sarah Walker, was on drug repurposing for triple negative breast cancer.
