Testimonial

Entering the graduate program at Texas A&M University, I knew my interest was in circadian rhythms but did not know which lab would best suit that interest and the desire to work in molecular microbiology. Luckily, the Department of Biology requires laboratory rotations giving me the opportunity to be directly involved with labs I considered joining. I was awarded a fellowship from the Biological Clocks Training Program allowing extensive semester-long training in three labs studying biological rhythms. This experience gave me a feel for the unique environment of each lab as well as introducing different model systems and the techniques used with each. The rotations provided an arena to broaden my social and scientific networks and for that reason, there is a great deal of camaraderie amongst the graduate students and faculty within the department.
