Nicholas Garcia: When I got into my lab, I was just looking at pursuing medical school. The more and more research I did, I kind of started leaning even further into medical school. But once I started to get some success and see what research was actually about, I started to realize how interesting it can be in answering novel questions or gathering novel data. And that got me really excited to do graduate school, or to look into graduate school. I actually did a summer off where I visited a medical school and visited with some M.D. Ph.D. students. Seeing them conduct their research and do their patient care, it got me really excited about doing that. And so from the beginning of research to now, I’ve definitely become a lot more interested in research. I’ve become a lot more excited about research and a lot more excited to start graduate school and get involved with the lab.
