Blog 4: Interview Preparation

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  Why?

I plan to interview Dee Ann Matthews (a.k.a. Mrs. Matthews).  Before becoming a teacher at iPoly, she received a Ph.D. at UC Irvine in Neurobiology and took part in research primarily dealing with the hippocampus.  She has so much advice to give, especially when it comes to research.  From what I've heard, research can be a dog-eat-dog world, and I'd like to get more insight into why that is and how I can deal with it.    

2. You have to ask 5 questions.  What additional questions do you plan to ask?   

What was the first research project you participated in, and how did you become involved? 

What exactly did participating in that project entail?

How did you first become interested in the hippocampus?

How did your research regarding that region of the brain turn out?

What part of your education prepared you the most for research?

What kept you going during the harder times?

Why did you decide to get your Ph.D. in Neurobiology?  

What was acquiring that Ph.D. like?

What general advice can you give me as I become more involved in research?

What do you know about extremophile research and its general standing in the science community?
