It's early!
It's our first day of work, kinda. Yesterday we went on an orientation of bio/chemistry health and safety. Also, we did stuff for taxes and payroll. We found out where we were supposed to eat and met each other officially.
My roommate, J, is cool. She is from Georgia and goes to Tuskegee. My suite mates, S and D are cool also. They are from Puerto Rico and are engineering majors. Most of the people in this program are from Puerto Rico and are women. I find that really encouraging, because most of the statistics are bleak for women and minorities! (Howard Hughes is a minority program, so I expected a large minority turnout.)
I meet my research mentor today! His name is Dr. Ravi Kane. He does work in nanobiotechnology, so I'm excited.
