Hi, my name is Jason. I’m from Austin and have lived
there for most of my life. It’s been a big change since NOLA has a more different
culture and atmosphere than Austin, but I’ve enjoyed my first few weeks in the
city and I’m looking forward to seeing what more the city has to offer. For my
undergraduate degree, I attended the University of Texas at Dallas but I’m excited
for this new year, moving into the master’s program in Pharmacology at Tulane. Coming
from a Biochemistry background, I believed that the Pharmacology coursework and
curriculum would be very similar to what I had learned in my undergraduate
education, but there is still so much more to learn! I never would have thought
that the two subjects could be so different yet so similar at the same time. So
far, we’ve taken two exams, and although they were certainly challenging, they
were manageable. In regards to the coursework, there have been so many
interesting lectures, such as the lectures on stem cells, antibiotics, and
antiviral drugs. In terms of volunteering, I’m looking forward to going to
organizations such as the Goldring Culinary Center and Habitat for Humanity, and
I am excited to see what I can do to contribute. Throughout high school and
college, I spent numerous hours volunteering in various hospitals, retirement
centers, etc., and I hope to be able to transfer this experience over to these
new volunteering opportunities. Overall, I’m excited for the coming months in
relation to learning more about Pharmacology as well as being able to explore
more of this bustling city!
