I enjoyed getting to the point where I felt like an expert in my topic from all the literature reading, mastering of experimental procedures, abstract writing, poster building, and presentation practice. Going from scratching my head to looking forward to being asked questions about my project is such an empowering experience. I'm leaving a more knowledgeable and confident person, and with a desire to challenge myself in the future with any research project I become passionate about.
