I loved the idea that the 荣誉项目 focused on seminars 和 special projects. It’s more work, but there are so many opportunities for really high-level intellectual exploration. The interdisciplinary aspect of the 荣誉项目 is so nice; I’ve met so many people I wouldn’t have met otherwise.

I know some people think that being in a lab is kind of stuffy 和 you don’t really get to know anyone, but there’s a really big group environment. It felt like I was doing something important. You don’t think that what you’re doing in undergrad might be seen by an international audience, 但这是可能的.
