I am really interested learning more about diseases and disorders, especially how they can be cured. One specific field I want to research is how vaccines are made because of the latest pandemic, COVID-19. I wish to understand how scientists find treatments for diseases caused by viruses. Along with viruses, I am interested in finding out how proteins can be modified to potentially help treat protein-based diseases. Additionally, I deeply invested in studing about my carbon footprint on this planet. While it seems very grassroots, every large issue stems from the bottom, making its way to the top. Studying the human carbon footprint has encouraged me to plant trees in my garden, bike more, reduce my plastics consumption. I plan to use my knowledge and skills to work towards protecting the environment.
