Drew Thomas spent the last 2 semesters in our laboratory during his freshman year learning about research. This week marked the end of the LEARN program for Drew. The LEARN program at UCF is an initiative to encourage undergraduate freshmen to engage in research early within their area of discipline. Drew’s presentation was the award winner for the program and he was acknowledged for his demonstration of a great command of a challenging subject. His success is shared by his graduate mentors in our laboratory Sanna Siddiqui and Albert Manero who have nothing but praise for his efforts and enthusiasm. Drew’s words to his mentors: “Thanks for the great experience that I had over the course of the year and thank you for introducing me into the world of research.”
