These past few months have gone by quickly, but I have accomplished a lot in them, and I look forward to soon reaching the finish line of my college education. At the start of the semester, I made a slight change in my course of study, switching my major from Biological Sciences to Neuroscience and Behavior because I have a lot of interest in cell therapies and drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases. This change enabled me to take classes like Neurobiology, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Social Neuroscience and provided me with foundational knowledge covering a vast array of topics, ranging from sensory physiology to the neural basis of moral decision-making. I also took Organic Chemistry so that I could learn more about the chemical processes that drive the development of different pharmaceutical products used in medicine. Overall, my classes this semester were challenging, but the knowledge I gained made my efforts worth it. Outside of my courses, I continued my research with the International Center for AIDS Care and Treatment Program at the Columbia University School of Public Health and submitted a research paper on trends in HIV testing utilization in Lesotho to a journal for publication. The review process will take many months, but hopefully, the paper will be published by this summer. I also made sure to leave some room for fun, so some of my favorite moments this semester were having a picnic with friends in Riverside Park, seeing a jazz show at Lincoln Center, and perusing the stalls of the Hester Street Fair with my sisters when they came to visit me. As for my post-graduate plans, I have begun searching for and applying to jobs in biotechnology, global health, and healthcare policy, and I have already started to interview with a few companies, mostly in Boston and San Francisco. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate MV outh for supporting my academic journey at Columbia and I hope that I will continue to represent the Martha’s Vineyard community well.
