Greeting fellow young
scientists,
My summer program was
completed a few weeks ago. I am glad to be back home and working in my usual
lab at UCLA for the next several weeks for the remainder of summer. I truly
enjoyed spending the summer away in another lab. Now that I’ve returned to my usual
lab though, I realize how much I missed being able to work and function more
independently. Hahaha, it’s rather nice to not have a stranger breathing over
your shoulder at regular intervals, checking in to make sure you aren’t lost or
haven’t screwed something up. In the future, I will most likely pursue research
more closely related to the research I did this summer than to what I usually
research. My summer research was in the field of neurosurgery (neuro-oncology),
while in contrast, my usual research is in the field of neurology (specifically,
neurodegenerative diseases). Although, I’m not terribly fascinated with brain
cancer research, I am excited to conduct neurosurgery research related to
topics, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and other related brain
disorders. Also, in the future I hope to return to work at the Brigham and
Women’s hospital where I did my summer research. I loved everything about the
hospital and all of the people I met while there.

program and our advisers.
