2. RESEARCH CLOUD

In the lab, you will find yourself getting a better sense of understanding how fluid and flexible you are being as you pursue your research, your manuscript, your scholarly project, and/or your MSSRP project. You will learn that in research, flexibility and adaptability are crucial, and what you end up discovering or innovating is often not what you started out with in mind, yet something meaningful that has emerged on the journey.
