Miriam A. Golden

I work closely with the students I supervise, using a lab-based model of interaction. My students meet with me as a group on a weekly basis. Each student reports on research progress, and students peer-mentor one another as well as receiving my feedback. Students are encouraged to collaborate with one another, to share skills and expertise, and to provide moral support to each other.
