Assistant Professor of Biology Sunny Scobell, Ph.D.

“Students come in and expect to do the scientific method like it’s a cookbook. The real experience of doing research is that you try something and it doesn’t work, so you tweak it and try it again. It’s messy. Until students do science, they don’t understand how messy it is. ... Some students won’t ever get back to research in their careers, and they’ll go out and do big and important things, and having that level of scientific literacy, understanding how science is truly done and having that critical lens, is really important for modern times.”
