Endersession Blog Post 6

My first option would be to apply as an assistant to a researcher because I already have a heavy background with dry labs and wet labs I would have the background knowledge to be of use.

My second would be to intern at a company like Pfizer for the same reasons as above.

My third option would be applying to a translational science facility (I already worked at Scripps TSRI) and I would have the edge on other people.

My endersession is already decided and I will be taking classes to be certified in animal surgery, lab protocol, and safety.

In a brief essay explain both of these. At the end of you essay, research and include 3 contacts for Endersession opportunities that would help you acquire the above stated skills.

I need to get the paperwork to my mentor but I will be working at one of Dr.James Lyndsey's labs at UCSD. And from that I will be getting more experience in a wetlab going through assays and learning about proper lab technique while handling animals and animal parts and also develop connections in the research world.
