Last week when I was helping out with a photo shoot in one of the NanoEngineeringhttp://nanoengineering.ucsd.edu/ labs run by professor Joseph Wang, I ran into chemical engineering major Maria Zimmerman who is one of the undergraduate researchers in Joseph Wang's labs. I'm going to ask Maria for a few thoughts on her experiences as an undergraduate researcher, and post the responses here. If you have any questions for Maria, leave a comment or send me an email at: dbkane AT ucsd DOT edu.
