What advice do you have for prospective or new researchers?
A valuable piece of advice I have received from many of my PIs has been that realizing you are not interested in something can be equally as important as falling in love with the work you are doing. Embrace the unknown and take chances in your research pursuits; you never know where they might lead you.
