In Their Own Words: Student Blogs

About Me

Awesome

Well, I'm at MSOB because I figured I would try to get work done before tomorrow, which I am taking "off" for part of the day. Sort of, not really.

having lunch with Elissa, and treating myself to the fact that I want to go to a talk by Martha Bulyk, because she's super cool....

Wow, I'm sad HAHA.

However, I wanted to blog because I realized that when you post your birthday on facebook, it's pretty amazing because at 9 p.m. everyone on the east coast starts to post to your wall and you start feeling loved.

FROM INTERNET PEOPLE.

But they are real people.

We have this weird meta-existence on the internet. Facebook is certainly a venue for this.

About Me

Hello World.

My name is Tiffany Chen and I am a first year student in Biomedical Informatics. Originally from Ohio, I went to school at Duke University in North Carolina, where I graduated with an interdepartmental major in Computer Science and Biology.

The goal of this blog is in many ways, a reflection of my time here, as well as a vessel for information that I feel is important to document or share. Subsequently, this thing will either be confusing and overwhelming to readers, or a pleasant, enjoyable experience. I am hoping for the latter.

As an undergraduate, I had the chance to work with Dr. Steve Vogel, who studies biomechanics, as well as Dr. HF Nijhout, who is an entomologist interested in the evo/devo aspects of complex traits. As an undergraduate teaching assistant and an active member of my undergraduate ACM, I had the chance to work with Dr. Susan Rodger, who was an integral part in guiding my path towards graduate school.
