Read and analyzed journal articles/research papers
Attended science lectures
Presented twice about a topic of focus
Reached out to potential PIs (writing emails) and interviewed for labs — facing rejection and success
In preparation for this symposium, we dedicated our time on creating a poster, elevator speech, and abstract regarding a specific topic we wanted to focus on for the next few years
