Moving on from 91��Ƭ��—A Look Back at Undergraduate Research

Thu, 19 May 2022 12:00:00 +0000

As a senior, it’s hard to imagine what will come next after graduation. 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 91��Ƭ�� 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.
