QCB Colloquium

When my cohort was asked to sit in on Quantitative and Computational Biology (QCB) colloquium talks upon arrival on campus, my primary reaction was abject terror: I was a nervous public speaker, and I couldn’t imagine getting to a place in my research where I could speak calmly and confidently like the second-years were doing for all of us. My colloquium talk yesterday felt extremely full-circle, and was exciting evidence of the progress I have made during this pandemic. It has been inordinately rewarding to see the strides my classmates have made in exploring research topics that interest them. An interdisciplinary field certainly promotes great diversity in problems explored.
