The sudden transition into remote instruction was and still is, met with several challenges. However, classes still managed to move forward with… Continue reading A (Not so Typical) Year of an Undergraduate Student
Unexpected Computational Research
By: Jason Chen When I joined the Montclare lab for protein engineering and molecular design in the summer of 2020 (amidst a pandemic), I was eagerly expecting to be thrown into the wet lab world involving the prolific use of SDS-PAGE and the omnipresence of micropipette tips. Instead, I would find myself navigating a Unix… Continue reading Unexpected Computational Research
