How has being a Biology graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"It gave me an excellent base for Medical school. The Duke name has opened doors for professional opportunities. The main benefit, though, is that I really enjoyed Biology and gained an immense amount of knowledge and appreciation for the natural sciences."

What advice would you give students in Duke's Biology programs? 

"Immerse yourself. Learn as much as you can and enjoy learning. The benefits will come."
