Listening to Professor Alabi and Professor Yapici was very insightful. I think after listening to Professor Alabi talk about how joining a lab in his undergraduate was his favorite part of college I might try some research. I also found Professor Yapici’s story about rats escaping and stealing all the food in her lab pretty funny. I used to think lab work was more for people that were solely focused on academia however after hearing about the two professor’s experiences, it sounds quite interesting. Overall, I found that professors can also be very relatable. Like many kids both Professor Alabi and Professor Yapici were huge soccer fans when they were young. I think sometimes professors may seem like they are super smart and unapproachable. However, they all went through the same experiences as most students when they were younger or during their undergrad. Professors are a resource that all students should take advantage of.
