Career Related Skills

Accuracy- From doing research I know how to make accurate conclusions both quantitatively and
qualitatively from results observed in the lab and read in scientific literature.
Critical Thinking- By spending hundreds of hours in the lab and at work I have learned to tackle issues by
analyzing, assessing, and determining a course of action.
Communication- Familiarized with the unique language of chemistry by reading others lab notes and
literature to understand background research. Presented results individually and publicly both groups with
expertise and without.
