About my YCCI Internship:

This was single-handedly the best research experience I've had yet. It was an amazing opportunity that helped me learn to take advantage of the opportunity given to me. I also gained the ability to properly construct and digest a research paper, learned how to form a hypothesis, and became skilled in the handling of basic lab equipment.
