Week 8
As I expected, the last week in New York was a mix of both
excitement and sadness. In terms of
research, I was able to culminate my projects and am leaving in a position that
opens possibilities for collaborations between my current lab in NYC and my
main lab in Ithaca. Although I am
leaving some ongoing projects, I was happy to hear by the members of the lab
that they would still want my input. Overall
I feel like this was a fantastic experience.
I feel like I was coming into this immersion term being able to
thoroughly understand my field of research, however I learned a lot and now am
a much better scientist.
Socially, this immersion term has made our first year class
stronger and a tighter community. This
week was hectic trying to get everything organized for our departure. I tried to do some of my favorite things in
the city one last time, and I cannot wait to come back into the city in the
near future either to continue my research or a long-term job.
