S1E9. Colin Cleary

Colin Cleary, a Ph.D. candidate studying Physiology and Neurobiology at UConn, lets us in on the studying secrets he discovered as an undergraduate and explains that for him, different STEM classes required different approaches. During his first year at UConn, Colin developed a passion for science but wasn’t sure about which direction to pursue. After completing coursework in Physiology & Neurobiology (PNB) and Molecular & Cell Biology (MCB) courses, he decided to declare his major in those areas. Beyond the classroom, Colin’s passion for the medical field brought him to the UConn Medical Humanitarian Society where he and other club members organized a transformational and impactful trip to Guatemala. Join our host, Tomaso, as he sits down with Colin and learns more about how and why he developed such a strong passion for research and what advice he has for any student eager to explore research early on.
