I participated in NIGINTERN 2008 program with GOJOBORI Laboratory as my host laboratory. This was an enriching experience for me as it gave me the insight into carrying out the research, understanding how the knowledge is created besides feeling the 'joy of science'. Creation is bliss and it was proved to me in this program. I was given the freedom to choose my project and plan my own strategy for solving the problem. This is a stupendous experience for any undergraduate. Besides the technical knowledge, I gained a lot in terms of overall personality growth. I met several people from various research fields and got the opportunity to know their work. I attended the seminars and lectures which benefitted me as I became aware of the several advanced studies. I attended the poster presentations of researchers from various fields and this was an enriching exposure. Learning new language (Japanese) was another outstanding feature of this program. Everyone kept me in their high priority. If I am needed to describe an adjective for the whole experience I will say gvividh. What I gained in the 10 weeks program is far more than what I anticipated. |
