Student Spotlight

John Vant School of Molecular Sciences Arizona State University What skill have you learned in your studies that you find useful in other aspects of your life? One skill that I have learned in my study of biophysics is how to analyze complex data sets using various statis tical and computational tools. This skill has helped me in other aspects of my life, such as managing my personal finances, planning my travel itinerary, and making informed decisions based on evidence.
