"I learned new terminology, lab safety tools, and the steps in recording research as objectives, results and discussions.
"I liked that I was able to complete tasks that contributed to the research instead of [just] watching."
"By participating in the EMU Research program, I gained insight to what lab work in college looks like. I also learned that detailed records of data and protocols are essential for the interpretation of correct results as well as reflection of the procedure after the experiment(s)."
