Thank you very much for taking the time to read about my interests in your 10-week Microbiology Summer Undergraduate Research Internship found on the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine webpage. I am currently in my second year at North Iowa Area Community College where I will graduate with my Associate’s Degree in Science this May. I take great interest in your superior program because I would love to familiarize myself with U of I’s microbiology program, gain more knowledge in the field of biological research before continuing my education this fall, and because of my extreme passion for the biological fields.
I would also benefit greatly from this program because of the lack of research opportunities I am exposed to at my current community college. The very small campus I attend contains a lovely science program with small classes and great instructors that create a great environment for learning. However, it …show more content…
I am an aspiring research scientist and am still pondering on a future topic of study. However, an area that I am extremely interested in and have participated in my own research on is antibiotic resistance. My passion for this topic came about in a Biology course at NIACC. We were studying the effect of different antibiotics on bacteria as well as the effect of certain spices on bacteria. From here I was exposed to a new realm of how we, as consumers, use antibiotics and overuse them. Although my research experience needs attention, my studies in science related subjects excel above many. In high school, I studied in advanced placement courses in Biology and Calculus and was president of our science club. At the collegiate level, my awareness of precision and perseverance is what keeps my GPA at a 3.5. I also continue to challenge myself every day in biology and chemistry related
