Breaking things in Cass lab 201 happens on a nearly weekly basis for Gaston Merideth II ’18. The forensic science major said it’s all part of experimentation.
“Research teaches a lot of good skills, like problem-solving, thinking and patience, because things break a lot and you have to sit there and wait and wait for it to get fixed, wait for the part to come in,” said Merideth. “I like research, because you learn a lot. There's no given answer to the problems. When I come in to do research, we’re trying to discover new things. We don’t know what we’re looking for.”
