My name is Charis and I am a senior studying Biochemistry, MCB, and Math at UofA. I think life is amazing and that math and science are very fun and useful tools, so most of my time is spent trying to figure out how the world works! I also love mentoring students of all ages to encourage them to find their passions and help them succeed in all that they do, so I’m part of several clubs, classes, and organizations that allow me to talk to and work with students ranging in age from middle school to college. When I need to relax and take my mind off of things, I really like to play volleyball and video games, like Overwatch. I am also somewhat addicted to hot Cheetos.
The University of Arizona’s Undergraduate Biology Research Program is partnering with KXCI 91.3 to produce “Thesis Thursday,” a weekly segment featuring student researchers talking about their undergraduate thesis projects, or research projects while working with University professors. Students describe their research, their overall goals and career interests and where they think their research will lead. They also get a chance to share their music and interests that motivate them.
Broadcast three times every Thursday with a new student each week.
Thursdays: 9:55 AM, 11:55 AM, and 2:55 PM
Created by Cathy Rivers, produced by Bridgitte Thum.
