Hi everyone! This is my reflection on weeks 3 and 4 of my project. They were challenging but I learned a lot, so here are a few thoughts I'd like to share. I chose to focus on more personal rather than academic takeaways from my project as they are more relatable. Feel free to share your thoughts!
A Change in Mindset - Research Reflections 1
Hi everyone! I thought it would be a good idea for me to reflect on my project this summer. I am hoping to write up a reflection that would cover my most significant takeaways for every two weeks of my research project.
Here are my reflections on the first 2 weeks of my lab-based research project!

This is an incredibly well-made and thorough poster! I can't wait for the day that I get to wear a shirt made of a fabric-based TEG material...

Hello! Thank you so much Inkindi, I am so glad you found it of value!!
This blog was incredibly insightful Emma! I found it so easy to lose myself researching down rabbit holes as well, I guess knowing when to stop is also part of the process.
This is such an eloquent reflection of the doubts and drives that I can also attest to in my first two weeks! It's also so inspiring to see how your awareness of your experiences has helped you to form a stronger mindset.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It's comforting to know we have such shared experiences!
This is such an interesting project, good luck!
