What I liked
Freedom of scheduling, able to work from home through the pandemic!
What I wish was different
More in-person meetings with my mentor but the pandemic only allowed us to meet on zoom after March.
Advice
Pace yourself!! Don’t get too overwhelmed trying to research everything at once. Pick an idea and get as much information as you can on that one little topic.
