...constructing genetic mutants, "Goodarzi says. The budding scientist is eager to explain his work in detail, frequently using lingo that few but he and the professor can understand. "It's pretty complicated," he shyly acknowledges...
Although he has completed only one year of college, Goodarzi works full-time--about 50 hours a week--as a research assistant in the biology labs. He asserts that he did not get his job through special connections, but rather through his own persistence. Near the end of the school year, Goodarzi called a number of professors, asking if they had interesting projects he could work on over the summer. Little did he know his job hunt would introduce him to the world of genetic mutants...
...common misconception that summer research assistants seldom transcend the menial duties of an academic "go-fer," Goodarzi and others say. Summer interns are frequently portrayed as slaves to the xerox machine, pausing only to stir the professor's coffee. Interns are quick to counter, however, that they are usually assigned a full range of research tasks, often personally assisting the professor with important projects...
...talk and stuff," Goodarzi says of Ambros. "I'm not working directly with him, but it's still the closest I've gotten to a Harvard professor...
...Like Goodarzi and Kolko, Akila Viswanathan '91 says her research job is "definitely not on the coffee-making side." A biological anthropology concentrator, the senior spends her time in the lab working on her thesis with Maryellen Ruvalo, a research associate in population genetics in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Her work focuses on genetic variability in chimpanzees...
