Find something that you are passionate about and will love to do everyday.  Do you like figure out how things work and would you rather fix something yourself rather than have someone else do it?  Do you enjoy being around and collaborating with likeminded people? At Verdantas you will have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects.  Don't worry that you will be sitting behind a computer all day long, the laboratory settings provide ample opportunity for you to get your hands in there and figure out how it works and if it doesn't what needs to be done to fix it.
