“The two most valuable things gleaned from my time as a graduate student are the autonomy afforded by graduate school, as well as the skills necessary to effectively harness this freedom to pursue insight into the physical processes of life. There is a near-indescribable satisfaction in translating theories on paper into experiments in the lab that you have ultimately planned, set-up and executed.”
