David McWatters | PhD Biomolecular Science

David McWatters Shining Student

CURIOUS. ENGAGED. DEDICATED.

“Never be afraid to ask questions. Ask about things being taught in lectures, about the research you are doing in the lab, or about anything you find yourself thinking. The more you understand about even seemingly trivial things can lead to incredible insight, and you will almost certainly get more out of any experience for it.”

Favourite Class: RNA Biology
