Dartmouth helped shape my future in extraordinary ways.
It was at Dartmouth that these ideas around the importance of independent inquiry were cemented.
The unique nature of the chemistry department at Dartmouth just captured my imagination, gave me a chance to taste what it’s like to do research.
And you’re going to go out there and build a messy network of people who will help you when you fail, who will help you look at the world in a new way, and make your good and bad ideas better.
That was foundational to my career as a researcher, and I try to pay that forward to my students.
Dartmouth allowed me to do a lot of independent studies, and more than that, the professors were willing to work around what I was interested in.
