The idea to create a compilation of resources that aspiring researchers could use was coined around the same time but in separate places by Mit Kotak and Adriana Ladera. Funnily enough, both Mit and Adriana, having built their research portfolio over their years in undergrad and choosing graduate school at MIT, received requests from their undergraduate peers for tips on choosing a path in research and a future in graduate school. It wasn’t until Adriana and Mit joined the same lab as fellow Atomic Baddies that they realized they had the same visions in research mentorship.

STEM Cells is a living resource and is constantly being modified as new modifications and new contributors are added. If you have specific questions that you don’t see answered or have suggestions for how to improve the site, contact Mit and Adriana below!
