Module 1 Reflection


For me, the hardest part in Module 1 was definitely the figures. I had no prior experience making figures or captions, so it was really difficult for me to know what exactly was important and what wasn’t. I definitely see the progress I have made in the conciseness of my captions and titles. Office hours are great and really helped clear up a lot of confusion I had on the assignments!
I also really enjoyed Mod 1 because a lot of the experiments that we did lined up really well with what I was learning in other classes, which really helped reinforce my understand of the material in all the classes. I think writing the Methods section was my favorite part because it was very straightforward, and the easiest place to start tackling the data summary. It was also very helpful to have my research question and abstract really hammered out because it helped me stay focused on what exactly my project was centered around and making sure that the information is was writing down was actually essential. Overall, I learned so much about writing and all the different experiments you can run (wowww soo many experiments).
It did feel really gratifying at the end of writing our Data summary to look back and see a cohesive story being told! I actually learned so much writing our data summary, because of the extra research we had to do. I think it’s important to take everything piece by piece and work on things as soon as possible, because not going to lie, it is a LOT of work.
Also, my partner is AMAZING. They were a great source of support and we worked really well together (they also helped me calm down when I thought I messed up the whole experiment hehe).

End of semester thoughts

This past semester of 20.109 has constantly put me outside of my comfort zone (from struggling through the research article to stressful class presentations not to mention coding in R). And, I’m realizing now just how thankful I am for that. Coming out of this class, I’ve learned so many useful skills like both presenting and making figures, thinking about how to ask and answer scientific questions, and of course, all of the lab skills it took to culture cells and roll out a cathode (I still can’t believe I actually did that).    And despite all of times I felt like I didn't know what I was doing, the fact that each module was centered around a specific experimental question really helped because there never was a right or wrong answer. It was reassuring to know that any data was still informative data and in general I really liked the aspect of the class that was very much open ended. I think that being able to interpret my own data (ie DS and RA) as well as interpreting dat...

Closing thoughts.

This class is coming to an end, and although I'm excited for the summer, I also feel a little sad. 20.109 was a lot of fun. Coming into lab every week and running actual experiments was such a nice change from traditional lectures. I feel like I know so much more about research, working in a team, and the field of biological engineering in general. And science writing of course. Science speaking too. The research proposal was definitely a lot more fun than the journal club presentation. I've noticed that the more I do public speaking, the better I get at it. But the anxiety never goes away. Especially the 10 minutes up to the presentation when my heart starts pounding so hard I can barely hear anything else. Surprisingly, it ebbs away the second I start speaking. When I can get into the material and focus on delivering the message to the audience. The research proposal was definitely a lot easier than journal club. I felt like I knew what I was talking about a lot better...

Module 1 blog post

Justin Liu       Module 1 and 20.109 as a whole introduced an entirely new way of writing to me. Sure, I had read scientific journal articles and papers before, but writing in a similar style is an entirely different ballgame. I had spent my entire life being taught be humanities classes and writing instructors to convey my ideas in an active voice. I was often criticized for making my sentences too wordy, and just as I thought I had broken into a good habit as I entered college, here I was, struggling on homework to make my methods sections or captions sound "academic." Homework assignment after homework assignment, my time spent formulating sentences decreased slowly but surely.       Thankfully, by the time I got to working on the Data Summary, I somewhat had the general idea about sentence structure down. However, that assignment itself was a struggle and a half. One of the biggest things I struggled with for the Data Summary was trying to convey a ...
