It was interesting. Thanks for asking. I'm not sure how honest you want me to be but yeah, I found it interesting but scary. The first two weeks of the research programme are introduction weeks with lectures (mostly people talking about their research, what it's like to be a PhD student, safety in the lab, different methods used in the lab, how to read scientific articles etc). Today we heard a lot about what it's like to be a PhD student and stuff like that. It was interesting but scary since I started to worry about what to do if I, during the summer, figure out I really don't like working in a research lab. I mean, my plan is to do medical research in the future. What if I figure out I don't like doing research?

Meeting new people was scary too. But overall I think it was a pretty good day. Got lectures from 9am to 3pm tomorrow. I think the theme for tomorrow is animal experimentation/research/testing and ethics etc.
