Science is truly mind-blowing. From the large scale of the universe to the microscopic organisms, beauty and intricacy can be seen at every level.
I will most definitely pursue a career in science. After earning my undergraduate degree, I plan to attend UNMC to pursue either an M.D. or Ph.D. It is my hope to work to develop antibiotics, vaccines and other treatments against common ailments and I would also like to teach at a high academic level at some point.
INBRE is an extraordinary program that allows many students to get their first look at research and gain laboratory experience. The hands-on training it provides allow students to get an insight into the careers that medical research has to offer and opens up many different opportunities in the science field as well.
