  mentoring_philosophy: '“If you can explain colors to a blind person, then you can explain anything” a famous saying translated from Tamil literature explains the key to a good mentor- mentee relationship. I strongly believe that if you truly understand a concept, you can clearly teach the concept. My intention behind mentoring is to make science understandable for anyone who wishes to learn and explore research. At the end of a semester, if the student left the lab after gaining a skill that will help in their career then I consider it as a success. '

  overall_research_project_description: |+
    The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, FL attracts scientists from across the globe who come to use our unique world-record magnets, including world strongest 45-tesla magnet, and world strongest 21-tesla MRI scanner. We as an organization is committed to education at all levels and we closely collaborate with research scientist and educators to develop programs that would benefit our community. 

    As part of that effort, we would like to reach our nearest neighbors in Tallahassee South Side – majority-minority, low-income communities. This project aims at helping parents of school-age children to find a free summer STEM activity through the Neighborhood STEM fairs held in March of each year.

    We are looking for a researcher who will study ways to better engage with the community and analyze impact of the project while contributing effort towards the STEM fairs.
