Please briefly describe any previous laboratory experience

I have very little experience working in a biology/biological engineering lab. As mentioned above, I have been exposed to a few techniques briefly by going into my dad's lab for a few days.

This past summer I did some behavioral research in the Early Childhood Cognition Lab (Laura Schulz). I worked in the Boston Children's Museum running an experiment analyzing cause/effect reasoning in 1 year olds.

Anything else you would like us to know related to 20.109?

Not really! I guess I would appreciate patience as I try to get acclimated to working in a lab :)

What is your favorite food or song or song about food?

  • Sweet potato casserole (when it's close to Thanksgiving)
  • Froyo (with lots of chocolate/chocolate toppings!)

Commitment to academic integrity
