Sarah Finkelstein '14

Hello! My name is Sarah Finkelstein and I am a sophomore at Wellesley College and I plan to major in Neuroscience. I joined the lab in the spring semester of my first year and am continuing this year as a part of the Sophomore Early Research program. Even before coming to college, I knew that I was interested in science. Coming to Wellesley, I was so excited to see that students could have the unique opportunity to study science through research. Working in the lab has given me a chance to realize my passion for discovering scientific knowledge.

Currently, I am working with Rebecca (Yogha) Muwanse '12 to determine the effects of estradiol on the expression of progestin receptors in the female rat sciatic nerve. I hope to develop my skills in the lab and gain more insight into the scientific process so I can, one day, pursue a career in scientific research.
