38 Research Reflection by Paulina Vargas

Faculty Mentors: Geneviève Albouy and Bradley Ross King (Health, Kinesiology, and Recreation, University of Utah)

I am profoundly touched by my summer research experience through SPUR. I have made lifelong friends that explored, and connected me to the culture and history of the state of Utah. My confidence and belonging within the scientific community grew tenfold thanks to my daily student mentor Anke Van Roy, and collaborative faculty mentors Dr. Bradley Ross King and Dr. Genevieve Albouy.
