Back in November, our HHMI program students participated in the annual SEA-PHAGES conference at Drexel University. Mike Nah, one of our SEA-PHAGES students, determined to enrich his experience at Lehigh, presented a poster at this science conference. Some students rarely get to present their research at an undergraduate level, and HHMI provides access to these new opportunities. Here is what Mike had to say about his experience:
So during my first and second year of my college career, I got an opportunity to participate in a research about bacteriophage at the department of Biological Sciences with Howard Hughes Medical Institute. After a year long research, Lehigh University faculties and students were able to share their works about different bacteriophages at Philly Phage Phestival here in Drexel along with other institutions. For me, along with my classmates, this experience was so rewarding and helpful on how to present the data professionally and learn how the science community works. It is truly amazing to participate in this program. I learned so much from this experience.
