I really appreciate the opportunities to work with the highly accomplished and talented faculty in our College. I get to know how to conduct high-quality research through this process, which will benefit my academic career. Additionally, since a good publication record is valued on the job market, it is never too early to improve our research skills and try to get papers published.
