As I have worked with these employers before, my experience with them has been nothing but a welcoming and accepting environment. I always find myself learning new skills and polishing old ones while working under Dr. Ferguson, something that I have found to really enjoy. She is always giving us updates and works hard to make us feel comfortable with the work we do, as it can be difficult to view the nasty sides of outward research when it can emotionally disheartening. Otherwise, she listens to us and always encourages us to speak our minds and provide as much as we can and want to to help make this project as great as can be. Dr. Ferguson is a wonderful professor and employer, overall I always recommend her as a teacher or mentor!
