My Summer Experience at the National Institutes of Health

Little did I know this summer experience was going to be somewhat life changing....Well, maybe I kinda thought that prior to starting, as it is the NIH.



And if you were wondering what the NIH is.....
"The National Institutes of Health is an agency in the Department of Health and Human Services whose mission is to employ science in the pursuit of knowledge to improve human health."

Its a place where everyone wants to be a rock star!
Or something like that....meaning, I spent the summer surrounded by very, very, very smart people with big dreams and ambitions....Who taught me clinical and laboratory skills.....People who encouraged me and helped solidify my own thoughts about possible career and life directions.


And Waalaa!
The final presentation that everyone on the team helped me to achieve. A special thank you to my co-workers for truly making it a very special experience for me!
