“I used to think that research is more valid when it deals with concretely following the scientific method, but that opinion has been challenged by my own experience with UR this past summer and by people I met at the SURF conference. I think any research, regardless if it follows strict rules of science, is effective in isolating a topic one might be interested in, or not interested in, when pursuing a future career. This, in my experience, is something constantly on students’ minds but no one ever seems sure how to go about confidently deciding something they may want to research in graduate school or how to align it to a career path. UR is a great way to start and has helped me.” – URaCE Fellow 2018
