Abstract

From researching fish fins to becoming the Director of Undergraduate Research at The University of Minnesota, Dr. Leslie Schiff has done it all. I met with Dr. Schiff to discuss her journey from an undergraduate student to the Director of Undergraduate Research and Associate Dean. Dr. Schiff discussed with me the importance of scientific writing, teaching students how to write, and finding the right fit in a research lab as an undergraduate student. As a STEM undergraduate student myself, I left our discussion inspired by her journey and excited to experience my own.
