Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

Our second SRC co-char is Lindsey Rasnake, a Ph.D. candidate at Indiana University. She studies nutrient cycling and algae in freshwater systems of human-dominated landscapes! Lindsey first got involved in 2022 at the JASM meeting in Grand Rapids! Fun fact: Lindsey spent two summers raising wolves!

When requesting letters of recommendation, give the prof at least 2 weeks lead time, and send them an email asking if they can write you a strong letter. Include your resume/CV and a reasonable draft of your app materials, a description of what you’re applying to & how to submit their letter 🧪🦑
