Next step after leaving the lab: gap year in preparing for medical school application

David is an amazing mentor. As a young undergraduate, navigating both the science and the lab environment in such a large biology lab was intimidating. David eased my anxiety by providing invaluable guidance and creating a safe and fostering learning environment through building a supportive undergraduate student group. He encouraged us to work collaboratively and learn from each other, which are skills essential for our future careers. Furthermore, David’s goal-oriented nature taught us how to execute an experimental plan and obtain results efficiently. 

I really appreciate David’s openness and honesty in sharing his scientific journey; his presence is essential in guiding my journey in science and he equipped us with all the necessary knowledge and tools required for success.His mentorship extended beyond science, teaching us valuable life lessons. David, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us!
