You've Got Potential!
by You've Got Potential
We aim to showcase undergraduate research to build a community that informs, connects, and inspires undergraduate students interested in research. As current undergraduate researchers ourselves, we understand the struggle that the pandemic has put on research, so we want to provide a space for students like us or who are interested in getting involved in research. Our podcast is structured to highlight experiences of undergraduate researchers, but also to offer advice on pre-professional schools, and present relevant educational content in an approachable way.
