During my Master's degree, I had already collaborated virtually with Promega's Target Engagement group, and it was very exciting to get to know this group in-person, visit their lab, talk and learn from them. This rich one-on-one experience with these scientists helped reaffirm my interest in my field, and contributed to my decision to pursue a PhD.
