Dat Nguyen is a PhD student in Dr. Elliot Botvinick's lab working with diabetes and protein technologies. We discuss growing up with immigrant parents, how Disneyland is absurdly expensive, qualification exams and a bit about optical tweezers. Then we dive deep into our different experiences with faith and ask the hard questions of whether or not God exists, how science and faith interplay with each other, climate change, and finally mental health in graduate school.
