My HSRF
It is already the end of the research fellowship! The summer went by quickly, and I gained many skills to benefit me as a future researcher and physician. During the school year, I cannot run my research projects from start to finish because of time conflicts with my classes and extracurriculars. Instead, other people in…
My HSRF
Through the Health Science Research Fellowship over the summer, I was able to learn about the various aspects of research as well as different fields of research. As an undergraduate student, my perspective of research was quite narrow. I only thought of the work I would do in the lab such as specimen processing, chart…

Reflections on Completing HSRF: Elizabeth Rubin
Throughout this summer, I had the time to focus my full attention on my research. I had the chance to troubleshoot my project, as some of my methods were not working initially.

My Research When I was first accepted into the Health Sciences Research Fellowship and was provided the opportunity to work full-time on my independent project this summer, I didn’t quite know what to expect. I think the biggest expectation I had for this summer was that I would be able to dedicate most of…
My HSRF Experience
Over the course of the summer I feel that I have gained a lot of valuable experience working in my lab. I’ve been part time in research for a little over a year but this summer was my first time working “full time” and it definitely changed my perspective on research . I was a…
My HSRF-Max Ehrlich
Over the summer, I have had a real chance to experience research. As opposed to my time in the Hammond Lab during the school year, I had a chance to get into the advanced methods of my field-doing techniques like CRISPR, creating and ordering novel plasmids, and taking more of an active role in my…
