This week was awesome! As I prepare to present my work at the Rice Poster Symposium, my nerves heighten, but I know that it won’t be as hard as some of the previous feats I have been tested with. Nothing was harder than the Great Plains Honors Council. We finished presentations this Tuesday for the lab, and it went well! We also finished the poster and got accepted to present at the symposium! I really hope to apply to REUs next summer to gain some in-person lab experience. I’m so grateful for my mentor, my faculty instructor, and Dr. Faiza for all their help during the process. I start classes on August 26 and am excited for what’s to come.
