Having the opportunity to work in a lab for the summer on my own research project has been very rewarding, because it has given me a feel for what a career in research might look like. While I have spent a lot of my time trying things and failing, I have been able to generate a lot of new ideas and learn a lot from scientific literature.<\/p>\n<p>The most challenging part of my summer has been creating and keeping a schedule for myself for my research project. While I have the responsibility of communicating all my lab results to the Principal Investigators I am working with, the progression of my project is entirely up to me.

Being able to spend a whole summer doing research has confirmed my &nbsp;interest in a career in the field of research, and I find that pretty satisfying.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>Sarah Ricupero<\/div>\n<div>Neuroscience\/Biomathematics<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As my summer research internship comes to an end, I have been able to reflect on how challenging and rewarding the past ten weeks have been.
