my name is Josh Warner Alaska I'm from

0:00:06.330,0:00:11.250
Long Island New York and I'm studying

0:00:07.859,0:00:12.750
human biology health and society the

0:00:11.250,0:00:14.490
most exciting thing for me about doing

0:00:12.750,0:00:16.680
undergraduate research is being able to

0:00:14.490,0:00:18.630
apply what I learned in the classroom in

0:00:16.680,0:00:21.119
my nutrition and biochemistry classes

0:00:18.630,0:00:23.939
and see come to life in the research lab

0:00:21.119,0:00:25.560
the work with dr. Tim really O'Brien and

0:00:23.939,0:00:26.849
she's the professor in the division of

0:00:25.560,0:00:29.429
nutritional sciences

0:00:26.849,0:00:31.410
her focus is nutrition and also maternal

0:00:29.429,0:00:33.570
health I've always been really

0:00:31.410,0:00:35.550
interested in pregnancy in maternal

0:00:33.570,0:00:37.739
health and just by going on the human

0:00:35.550,0:00:39.809
ecology website I emailed professors and

0:00:37.739,0:00:41.790
after talking to dr. O'Brien I was

0:00:39.809,0:00:43.170
offered a position in the lab biggest

0:00:41.790,0:00:45.360
thing that I'm doing is I'm working on

0:00:43.170,0:00:47.550
an honors thesis focused on a billable

0:00:45.360,0:00:49.770
cord coiling and how that relates to

0:00:47.550,0:00:51.210
neonatal and maternal outcome this

0:00:49.770,0:00:53.160
involves a lot of work with data

0:00:51.210,0:00:55.800
analysis and it did involve some

0:00:53.160,0:00:57.690
hands-on work with placenta as well just

0:00:55.800,0:00:59.640
as offs in the lab I basically shadowed

0:00:57.690,0:01:01.230
other undergraduate and grad students to

0:00:59.640,0:01:02.850
get a feel for the general structure of

0:01:01.230,0:01:04.979
the lab the projects that were going on

0:01:02.850,0:01:06.479
I attended lab meetings to hear more

0:01:04.979,0:01:08.460
about what everyone was up to

0:01:06.479,0:01:10.140
I started off washing dishes and within

0:01:08.460,0:01:12.659
a couple of weeks I was able to also

0:01:10.140,0:01:14.520
learn higher-level lab techniques as

0:01:12.659,0:01:16.110
well participating and undergraduate

0:01:14.520,0:01:18.210
research has absolutely changed my

0:01:16.110,0:01:19.590
future plans because at first I thought

0:01:18.210,0:01:21.689
that I just wanted to become a private

0:01:19.590,0:01:23.700
practice physician but now I'm hoping to

0:01:21.689,0:01:25.970
go into academic medicine and balance

0:01:23.700,0:01:35.250
patient care with research to flow

0:01:25.970,0:01:35.250
