I just wrapped up my second week as a Virtual Research Student and it has been steady and relaxed. As we start the first couple weeks, my student mentor is allowing us the time to get adjusted to the meeting schedule. I accidently missed my meeting on Tuesday but because Sunny is understanding she just told me to make sure to check in next week! However, I did make it to my group meeting with Sunny and Avey where we discussed some project specific questions and it gives me hope to get my questions answered and recieve clarifying project information. Throughout this week I have been doing python tutorials that include the basic elements of Python which includes the pandas library which will allow me to visualize the data provided. This is crucial to analyzing patterns within the data to understand to the scope of the research. Anyways, that’s about it! This week was just warming up to python and thinking about which ways I want to analyze the data to come up with a hypothesis!
Thanks for reading!
I wonder what your topic focus is and what hypothesis questions you are thinking of.
I hope you won’t miss any other meetings because, as a researcher, it is important to follow through with the expectations that your team has set for you.
John, it’s great to hear that you are clarifying your scope of research and learning a new program. Keep asking questions and stay engaged in the work you’re doing. I look forward to hearing more about your project in the coming weeks!
