Squiggly worms, how organisms come about, and how doing research makes classes easier! 

It was so inspirational and thrilling to talk with senior Thejasvi about her research in embryonic development. As a student who has been involved in her project for a significant amount of time, it was enlightening to hear about her progress as a researcher and as a student, with the ultimate goal of becoming a doctor in the future. Tune in to learn all about her cool worms (C. elegans), COVID-19 project and balancing the student and researcher lives. 

Have a great day and as always remember: You’ve Got Potential!

Jumping genes, fighting stigmas, and a passion for music! 

We had such a great time talking with rising junior Mahek about her project, future ambitions and interests outside of uni. Her research investigating the potential role of transposable elements in the phenomenon of speciation was intriguing to learn about, along of course learning all about her dedication and passion for research, integrated with her commitment and love for patient care and interaction as an aspiring physician associate. Have a great day and as always remember: You’ve Got Potential!

Hello everyone! 

Welcome to our first full-length video! This conversation was strongly fueled by several of the sentiments that led to the birth of this project: social isolation has severely damaged a world that before already struggled to come together – that of the undergraduate researcher community. 

Among the themes addressed are remote projects, finding structure at a time when help and guidance is of limited access, maintaining motivation and inspiration to pursue this passion and relationship dynamics with fellow lab members and mentors. Surely, we also talked about more and you can learn all about it by checking out this episode! For example, we really believe that our struggles and experiences in the process of becoming undergrad researchers could be transformed in helpful, structured and informative advice for any of you who may be interested in pursuit research or learn more about other students' perspectives on this matter! 

We are beyond grateful for the incredible support we have received so far on our introductory video and have so many fun episodes coming up for you! Feel free to share suggestions, questions or requests you have for us so that we can make this podcast a lot more fun and entertaining for all of you! 

'Til the the next time, remember: believe in yourself, You've Got Potential!
