Reflections on the Seminars

Posted by Auriel August on 2009-07-28

I'd like to first thank all the faculty members who presented their research at the Howard Hughes seminars over these past 8 weeks. While not every topic held a great interest for me personally, it was amazing to get a glimpse at the endless amount of scientific questions there are to be answered. It also introduced me to the various paths you can take within the sciences field. One of the most important things I took away from the seminars was that if you can find something you're passionate about, you can make a career out of it. There are an infinite amount of possibilities to explore and you should take the opportunity to explore as many as you like. It is nice to fondly look back on this research experience and I am glad the seminars were included as a part of the program.
