"I want to be a part of developing a solution to antibiotic resistance. This will be a big problem in the near future and it will save so many lives so it's best to get ahead of the issue."
“I wanted to have a community of people who were interested in things I was. I wanted a community where there were people who looked like me. I also was already interested in getting a Phd and this program provides so much guidance in getting there.”
