 Cows 3D is fun. Fun, the ISP. Keeping up with it. Interesting. Interesting. Learning on a DNA extract for the first time. It was really cool getting to go out and field and collect samples of different plants and insects, and go back to the lab and identify them, and just seeing how diverse the environment in NC State was. Enlightening. Enlightening. Re-warning. So, when I was participating in Cows 3D and to say I actually met a professor there, Dr. Lori Ernest-Sneider, in the agriculture department, and then over the past year she's helped mentor me and told me about internships and different programs. She thinks I should participate in, and I'm actually going to NC State next year on the forest scholarship, and I'll actually know her and already have that connection when they get there in that support system. So that was really great for me. Enriching. Enriching. Enriching. Getting hands-on experience. Hands-on college research experience. Getting to travel to an entomology lab on NC State's campus every day, because it will give you a lot of exposure to how labs work and college experience. Opportunity. The opportunity to learn research techniques. Got an opportunity to use gel electrophoresis as well as a mass spectrometer. From gel electrophoresis to soil science, I got to experience a little bit of everything that NC State has taught me. It's helpful. I use several of the techniques that I learned at the lab and by senior men. Collaboration. I really enjoyed exploring NC State's campus with my new friends. I met my best friend here. Progress. Doing research on Merrick's disease and chickens and actually being able to work in a lab. Facilitating. My lab partners and I all had different ideas of what we wanted to do to study the disease. And with our two mentors, we were able to actually use all three of our ideas just to study one disease. That verse. First step. Three programs. Introduce me to research and influence my decision to attend NC State. Exciting. Inspiring. Exciting. It was a really good experience to figure out what it looked like and to work with the researchers and work in a lab and it was really exciting to see all of them. Empowering. Worthwhile. Amazing. Eye opening. Powerful. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D. Cal's 3D.
