The MIT Biology experience shaped how I think. As a biology professor, I often incorporate my MIT education into my pedagogy. My students learn the methods and logic approach to reading research papers that I learned as a first-year graduate student in 7.50. I also run an undergraduate research laboratory, applying what I learned while supervising two UROPs at MIT. I would encourage current trainees to consider pursuing undergraduate teaching as a career; it has been a source of much joy and professional fulfillment.
