I loved being able to learn about the research I am interested in and advancing in my career.
What I wish was different
The summer schedule was hectic because I have never done a research program virtually, but it was still very informative.
Advice
Stay on task and create a schedule with your mentor.

Undergraduate Research Assistant
May - August 2019 • Atlanta, GA
What I liked
I liked that I was able to learn under a mentor at the beginning of my internship. This helped me to become familiar with the lab I was working in and understand some of the basic techniques that I would be using. From there, I was able to conduct my own research project which was where I gained the most from the experience.
What I wish was different
I wish that there was more connection between the other summer interns in the lab. There were very few chances to get to know the other people in the internship and make connections with them.
Advice
I would recommend this internship if you know you are interested in pursuing research in one of the life sciences. The internship may be too intensive and require a fundamental understanding and interest in the subject to really be a trial and error kind of experience.

Cichlid Researcher
May - July 2019 • Atlanta, GA
What I liked
Being able to examine cichlid embryos was very engaging, and I ended up keeping pictures and naming one Joergen. I love animal biology, even though I am a chemist!
What I wish was different
I wish that our experiment worked with us, as we ended up hypothesizing what would have happened, based on the few positive results we got. I also wish that we learned techniques more hands-on, rather than verbally.
Advice
My advice would be for others to persevere and analyze what they need to change, rather than solely being repetitive. We had to deviate from the literature 90% of our research, because our compounds would not react.

Student Assistant
October 2018 • Decatur, GA
What I liked
The friendliness of the staff and the ability to learn more about how classes are decided upon.
What I wish was different
I wish I was able to aid students a little more but students are given limited access for obvious reasons.
Advice
I would say this job requires patience because a lot of the students who walk in are frustrated with personal issues pertaining to their classes. The best thing you can do if comfort them and quickly guide them to the correct area to resolve their issue.
