There’s something in the water
Sometimes it takes a fish for a student to envision their future. At UMBC’s Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology on Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, undergraduates handle market-size salmon, micro-inject DNA into zebrafish embryos, and troubleshoot the complex systems that keep the Aquaculture Research Center running. Immersive experiences like these have a knack for clarifying career paths in ways that expand on what students gain from on-campus labs and lectures.
