From student to lab scientist
"There are some people you meet that you can peg very quickly as having what it takes to be successful. Emily Gearhart is one of those people. Emily is not only a high-achiever focused on her academic goals, she is an explorer open to opportunity and self-discovery. Whether it’s hiking through the Amazon jungle to experience its unique flora and fauna, touring Santa Fe Community College’s extensive sustainability initiatives, or spending her summer at the New Mexico Consortium Biolabs trying research on for size, she is absolutely all in. Yes, she’s smart. Yes, she’s goal oriented. But her willingness to say “Yes!” to opportunity and new experiences is the crowning jewel in her character that will undoubtedly take her far."
Dr. Debra Barr, Department of Biological Sciences, Seminole State College
"Emily has been absolutely amazing and contributed significantly to our research. She is very bright, asks a lot of good questions, is very skilled technically at the bench, and is a complete delight to work with and be around. I couldn't be more happy with her performance. She is welcome back anytime!"
Dr. Laura Dickson, LittleFly Division, Pebble Labs
