Student Mentor, Gyeongam Bio-Youth Camp
Korean Society for Molecular and Cell Biology (KSMCB)
Invited back as a mentor to the same youth science camp I attended as a high-school freshman in 2014 — a decade later, on the other side of it. I talked with high-school students weighing science careers about why I chose the field and what the research that followed actually looked like.
