How do you get started doing research as an undergraduate student? And what about applying to grad school? In this episode, we meet Monica Macharios, a senior undergraduate student at UNC, majoring in biology and philosophy, minoring in neuroscience, and doing research in Dr. Rob Dowen’s lab. Monica shares her experience getting involved with undergraduate research at UNC and completing a research experience for undergraduates (REU) at another institution. We get to hear Monica’s story combining her interests in the arts and philosophy with science.
