My experience in the Lamason lab studying pathogen spread convinced me that I wanted to major in biology. I got to see how biology worked on a practical level, and experience a hands-on connection by running DNA on a gel and doing other experiments. During lab meetings, it’s exciting to witness scientific stories as they unfold. I’m beginning to understand how my fundamental biological research may eventually have far-reaching impacts on disease evolution and spread.
