After the 2 week Quantitative Biology bootcamp started, I found little time to write daily blog posts. The bootcamp ended last week. It was a great experience - I'm grateful to have been accepted into such a well-organized and memorable bootcamp; it helped me further explore my graduate school interests.
This blog will change from a daily review to a weekly review. Furthermore it will include weekly goals and an individual development plan (IDP) to help position myself for the future, (this idea was presented in Kenneth McGuiness' seminar about "Positioning yourself for the future").
I need to work on,
- communicating - speaking, writing, and technical writing (abstracts, posters, papers, applications, progress reports)
- creating - slides, use of pictures vs words, animations, short videos
- planning - calendars and lists
I need to focus on my field - the Joint PhD EE/MD program appeals to me a lot.
I am grateful for the people that have made an impact on my life and for their ongoing support in helping me stay on track.
Yours Truly,
William C. Cheng
