Week 6 - Would I recommend the program?

I enjoyed my experience this summer because I was able to learn something new and do something challenging. I had the opportunity to work with and get to know some very nice people as well. One thing that surprised me about the program was how much stuff there was other than the actual research. I would have preferred to have a pure lab experience with less professional development and other seminars because I get plenty of that during the school year and I wanted to just do research. I would recommend this program to colleagues because I do think it was worthwhile. I did get some of the lab experience and challenges I was looking for.
