UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute’s Post

Welcome to the RMI Spotlight Kevin Ton ⭐ This series features our current and former students involved with the Research Mentoring Internship (RMI) Program. Today we are catching up with Kevin Ton! ⭐ Can you briefly describe your experience with RMI? And what did you gain from participating in the program? My experience with RMI started out rocky since I was really struggling to get into a lab and overall finding time to be more involved with the program. However, after I joined a lab all thanks to RMI for putting in a good word for me, which makes me stand out from other applicants; I really don’t think I could’ve joined a lab without being an RMI scholar. ⭐ What was your favorite memory in your RMI cohort? My favorite memory of my RMI cohort was the slow and steady relationship-building with everyone. I remember the first meeting being awkward and later gradually becoming friends and close acquaintances with one another in future meetings. ⭐ Now that you have graduated from RMI, can you tell us about your next steps? My next step is to take a year off to get some work experience in the biotech industry since I’ve only had an academic experience so far and plan my next step in applying to grad school.
