I was so thrilled (and a little nervous), when I heard that I had been selected to be among the few students that would be doing the Rice and Poly internship this summer. The chance of working on different biomedical projects together with fellow students from Rice University, was indeed an honor.

The first week was fun, meeting our cool friends from Rice; Emily, Sarah and Catherine; teaching them a few Chichewa phrases and Shopping for the materials that we would use.
