Why did you choose Minnesota?

Many great labs studying neuromodulation and industry opportunities. I loved the collaboration across departments and clinical applications with strong (and clear) translational research. When interviewing I felt it would be hard to decline offer so I said yes

Best advice from a graduate mentor?

"Uncompetitive and Unbothered" Essentially don't compare yourself to others or worry about them, instead focus on doing your best
