Dear Me from 10 weeks prior, Look at you! As per usual, this fellowship felt way too short, like with most good things in life. Moreover, you set off to accomplish quite a bit this summer, and while you were able to get quite a bit done in terms of your research and medical school…

Blog Post 9: Part Dos – the Testimonial
WAGSFP was such a fantastic program overall, especially with getting a chance to work more independently on my research project, prepping it up to make it into my thesis over senior year, and meeting other fellows over the two months we spent together (and their own co-workers/mentors in WAGSFP Lunch). My favorite part of WAGSFP…
Blog Post 9: The Song of my (WAGSFP) Life
So in terms of the song I chose, whenever I worked on my project and tried to analyze survey results (or completed medical applications outside of that) , I tended to do this while listening to music. I don’t normally listen to music with a lot of lyrics while working cause I find that the…
Some Mistakes and Obstacles
From the time I spent with Joe Salvatore, I realized that there are actually many goals I have. Besides getting my poster ready for the upcoming UROP symposium, some other goals include finding journals to publish any sort of research paper I decide to make on my study in the future, getting ready for a…

A Day in the Life of Me as A Researcher!
Okay, hi y’all. So unfortunately my research days aren’t too interesting and I don’t have pictures of my own, so relying on stuff from the internet again. I do get sleep though (which is a scarce resource over the school year, so I’m thrilled this summer), cause I wake up at around 8:30 am, get…
Reading Reflection Time: Bollywood Style!
So recently, in the search for material concerning the history behind South Asian portrayals in Bollywood movies, I found a super cool article by Aswin Punathambekar called “Bollywood in the Indian-American diaspora: Mediating a transitive logic of cultural citizenship.” In that article, they talk about a groundbreaking Bollywood film that managed to emotionally resonate with both…
Okay, this is kind of late, but who cares: My Research and It’s Impact!
Hey so I know this blog post is kind of late, but in my defense I don’t see as many people who remembered to blog about this on time, so I don’t feel quite as guilty for forgetting to post this up earlier. At least, that’s the excuse I’ll use if Elizabeth asks. 😛 ANYWAYS,…
Oh, that’s ME they’re talking about!

Hi everyone! My name is Ruchica Chandnani and I’m a rising senior here at the University of…
