How has being a Biological Sciences graduate from ±¬ÁÏ¹Ï helped shape your professional success?
The mentors in the Biological Sciences department, especially during my junior and senior years, were very supportive and they were key in helping to shape my profession. The faculty helped me by encouraging me to make and set goals and the research opportunities were incredible.
What advice would you give to current Monarchs in Biological Sciences?
Do what you're passionate about. Don't worry about the money. Ask yourself, "where do I see myself 30 years from now?". If my brother (Dr. Surena Matin) and I are an example of what can be done, look at us. We love what we do professionally. We love what we do every day, and we have no regrets.
