"My year-long research experience at Yale was formative. I was extremely lucky to join a research group that shows great support to undergraduate. That’s the best summer I have ever had, and I enjoyed my life there as a researcher."

Christina's experience of participating in Overseas Research Fellowship 

"I was given a chance to work on an independent research project with explorative nature. I got to meet with the professor every week to discuss various ideas and techniques related to my problem. During the summer, we met weekly for group meetings and journal clubs, where we share our project progress as well as interesting papers. Being in such a scientific community also allowed me to have engaging conversations about research with other group members on a daily basis, which helped me link cross-domain ideas to my own project."
