In this episode, Dennis interviews Ann about her background in science thus far. Ann tells her story as to how she became interested in research, starting back from enjoyment and success in Chemistry classes during high school and through a few early role models in her life. She goes on to discuss her undergrad scientific training, her academic passions from college, an impactful summer internship she had, and how she landed in her current position as a research technician at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute. Ann talks about what she does as a tech, what her goals are, and what she loves most about training as a young scientist.

As a podcast, we plan to have conversations with each other as well as interviews with professionals, and this is our first conversation of this type. We hope you enjoy!
