This&#8217;ll be my first time spending the summer in Ann Arbor (which I&#8217;ve already learned is way too hot to not have a bike) instead of back in Arizona with 3 dogs &amp; a cat, but I&#8217;d say the research is worth it. Yesterday, we had our orientation for the program, and I can&#8217;t wait to hear more about everyone&#8217;s research as the summer continues. The seminar topics seem interesting and I&#8217;m excited to go to some brown bags since I&#8217;ve never been before. Tomorrow I&#8217;ll meet with my research mentor to talk about the project timeline and all the details that come with it. All I know for sure is that we&#8217;re interviewing female surgeons in different fields to compare their perceptions of control and stress. This is my first qualitative research project, so I&#8217;m interested in seeing what the results look like compared to other research I&#8217;ve done.\u00a0 Overall, I think this project will really help to round out my research skills going into my junior year, which is one of the reasons that I applied to WAGSFP. I know that the first few weeks are just going to be a lot of literature reviews, but I&#8217;ve honestly never minded them. Outside of this research and the lab I&#8217;m working in, my summer will probably include reading and crocheting when I&#8217;m not hanging out with friends.<\/p>\n<p>Best, Riley<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Riley, This letter marks the beginning of my time in the WAGSFP and I am really excited to see where this goes.
