There is a banana stand and occasionally free ice cream across the street through Amazon 😉
Sometimes there will be events with free food, and often the leftovers are left in the kitchen (keep your eyes out)
Attend the talks held by other scientists
Bring a notebook everywhere and write everything down, inside and outside of lab
Work on your website and final presentation as you go
Have your keycard on you at all times
Get started on your project as soon as possible because the time really does fly!
Don’t be afraid to ask; everyone is extremely friendly and very happy to answer your questions
Ask if you can use the 3-D printer that they have in the lab
Interview as many people as possible
Look stuff up. Make sure you’re in the know on lab lingo and the chemicals you are working with
Try to be independent (don’t ask your mentor “what do I do noooow” every five seconds), but also acknowledge that they are your biggest resource and are there to help you
