Everything! It was such an amazing experience! I loved the lab that I was matched with and I was able to learn so much!

I only wish I had more time to be there and learn more skills.
Advice
Have patience with yourself if this is your first time doing research. You will make mistakes because that's just a part of the process. Eventually, you will know the techniques like the back of your hand and you will get the hang of it.
