Hi Tyler,The lab is not the most exciting part of the trip but it is an important one. I have found myself getting into the groove with things in the lab. I think one thing that I really like is that it is mostly time that you manage on your own. Yes, there are deadlines and pressure to get things done but there mostly you get to decide how you get things done. Maybe you work late and sleep in the next day. Maybe you take a longer lunch, maybe you take breaks and go outside. It is nice to have that kind of flexibility.Thanks for the question.JK
