This week was very exciting!
I finally found a mentor for my ISM journey this year. After much consideration, I asked Dr. Uttam Tambar to be my mentor because he seemed the most passionate about biological chemistry while also being very open-minded to teaching a high school student, like me, the different career opportunities biological chemistry provides. In addition, Dr. Tambar is also extremely qualified to be a mentor as he has attended Harvard University, California Institute of Technology, and Columbia University. In addition, he has published many publications over catalytic reactions, medicinal chemistry, and natural product synthesis. This week I also reflected thoroughly upon my Original Work/ 1st Semester presentation and I saw some recurring distracting manners throughout my presentations this year. For example, I noticed that my voice was very low and I had many fillers and poor enunciation of words. To correct these habits, I plan to practice my speaking skills often and develop a stronger presenter voice before a presentation by practicing breathing exercises. I can also practice hand gestures when I am casually talking to my peers. My goals for next week is to begin researching and analyzing crime scenes for my Final Product and update my digital portfolio and mentor bio.
