I enjoyed working hands-on in applied science research. I received adequate guidance from my mentor and I enjoyed the collaborative atmosphere of the laboratory. It was also very diverse.
What I wish was different
I wish there was a single project I could have focused on since I was assisting with multiple projects. It would have given me some sense of ownership
