Don't be Afraid to Learn Something...

Looking back on these 8 weeks, I think to myself "Wow, did I really do all that?"

Collecting Data = good. Realizing the data you collected was useless = bad. Lesson learned = priceless

The good and the bad. But nothing is particularly ugly (regarding my research at least).

Time flies...

Amazing that I’m back at home already. These past eight weeks are over! What happened?! As the cliché goes, time flies when you’re having fun…Or working in a neuroscience lab. Truth be known, there were various points throughout my tenure in the Williams lab during which I questioned a lot of things. As I mentioned in one of my very first blogs, after taking PSY 91 (the Biological Bases of Behavior), I was aching to learn more about the field. Before that, during fall semester of last year, I took a Focus Program seminar class titled the Mind-Body Problem, which introduced me to the idea that gene expression in an organism can in fact be influenced by its interaction with the environment. Having thoroughly enjoyed those two courses and having always possessed a deep interest in the ability of nutrition to prevent chronic disease, it seemed nothing but fitting for me to test the waters and see how basic research in the field operates.
