Guiding a Chosen Career Path
鈥淭his experience [at the Innovation Center] was very beneficial in helping me to decide what career path I am interested in pursuing. There are many differences between academia and industry research that I did not know prior to my internship. I am really glad that I was able to pursue this opportunity as there are not many companies like this in the Athens area that work so well with students鈥 schedules. I was also allowed to work more independently than other internship programs that I have heard about, which is good for scientific research so that you gain a better understanding of what you鈥檙e doing and how to troubleshoot things if they go wrong. Finally, the skills that I developed while working on projects during my internship have contributed to my research project in Dr. Carroll鈥檚 lab.鈥
