What do you hope to learn from your Richter experience this summer?
I hope to learn about Chemistry and Biology, how they are combined (Biochemistry), and the ways to conduct experiments. At the same time, I am also interested in learning about working on a team and the importance of teamwork in conducting successful research. I want to get hands-on experience with many different research techniques, all while working with and learning from my peers.
