At Kerafast, we appreciate the many years of hard work and dedication professors, lab managers and senior researchers have devoted to research as well as to the scientific community. This quarter, we invite you to take a blast to the past and write a blog about your first research project. Have writer’s block? Feel free to use any of the following prompts below:

• Your mentor’s role during your first project.
• Your first research project’s influence throughout your career.
• If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be?
• What advice do you have for young researchers today?

To enter the contest, submit the final blog post by September 3^rd, 2021. Two winners will be randomly selected on September 6^th, 2021, and each will receive a $1,250 gift card. Winners will be featured in our upcoming newsletter, social media channels and blog.

Please send all submissions and inquiries to angela.desai@kerafast.com.
