Developing an original Pioneer research topic: A Scholar's Story
I was definitely looking for a hands-on program where I would be gaining knowledge about medicine, about neuroscience, about the brain from people who know a lot more than I do. When I first heard about Pioneer, I thought it was way out of my reach. It seemed too good to be true – that I would be working with a college professor who would take time out to talk to me individually. Now when I look back at that whole experience I think, Wow! I didn’t expect my interest in neuroscience to increase that much.
