Final Week of My Rice Research Internship: Presenting at the Symposium

This week has been a whirlwind of excitement and anticipation. John Paul and I spent our time rehearsing our pitch, and as I type this, I am about to present at the symposium. I am thrilled and grateful for this incredible experience.

Preparing for the Symposium

Rehearsing our presentation with John Paul has been a key focus. We’ve refined our delivery and ensured that our pitch effectively communicates our research findings. The hard work and practice have paid off, and we’re ready to showcase our efforts.

Gratitude and Reflections

Being part of this research internship has been an amazing journey. I have learned so much and grown both personally and professionally. I am immensely grateful to Sunny Kim, our mentor, for her invaluable guidance and support. John Paul has been an incredible partner, making this experience collaborative and enjoyable. A huge thank you to Dr. Vicky Yao for allowing us to be part of her lab, and to Faiza for ensuring we stayed on track throughout the internship.

Final Thanks

Lastly, I want to thank all the RSTEM interns this summer. Sharing this experience with such a talented and supportive group of individuals has been a highlight of my internship.

Thank you all, and until next time!
