🔬Today’s spotlight is Ness Tchenio, an Alliance intern from @xpolytechnique.bsky.social in the @khanhndinh.bsky.social lab. Ness reflects on her first research experience, studying ecDNA, and learning to embrace uncertainty throughout the scientific process. Read her Q&A: bit.ly/4bHZ0eE

Ness Tchenio with the quote: "This was actually my first experience working in a research laboratory. Before this, I had mostly worked in industry, so it was a completely different environment. Research gave me much more autonomy in my day-to-day work, and I really enjoyed the freedom to explore ideas and develop my own approach."
