Maximizing Your Happiness in Graduate School

If you can answer yes to these questions, you are likely a good fit for my lab. I have the utmost respect for clinical work and my clinician colleagues; however, if you are interested in a clinical career and/or do not enjoy research, you will likely not be happy in my lab.

  1. Do you have a keen desire to learn?
  2. Are you highly motivated?
  3. Do you have a very strong work ethic and are you willing to go above and beyond?
  4. Are you persistent?
  5. Do you have a genuine interest in type 1 diabetes?
  6. Do you have the ability and strong desire to excel in quantitative research?
  7. Are you eager to participate as a research assistant on patient-oriented NIH grants?
  8. Do you genuinely want a career in academia?
