Reflection on My Research

Throughout my undergraduate study, I have participated in research projects across a broad range of chemistry subdisciplines. As a 2018 Goizueta Foundation STEM Scholar, I explored the anomalous redox behavior of bis(serinato)copper(II) complex under the guidance of Dr. T. Leon Venable at Agnes Scott College. As part of our extended studies on the synthesis and behavior…

Oskar’s Expedition and My Journey in New York

Movies can affect how the audience understands a place. Visiting places might also motivate some travelers to watch a particular movie in order to understand more about the destination. In my case, watching Stephen Daldry’s film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, which was released on December 25 in 2015, provided me with an opportunity to…

Teamwork

Teamwork is an integral learning component of my Physics 203 class. In just three months, I have learned how to be a responsible team member, how to help a group become more effective based on feedback and how to formulate constructive feedback for other team members to improve. Reflecting on my experience as a member…
