EXCELerate

Hello again. Spring break is over and the semester is finally on the downward slope to the finish. While on the topic of the finish, it is an excellent moment to reflect on the amazing application that is Microsoft Excel. I am quite elated that we went so in depth into Excel for it is a program that is used in essentially every single science class that I will be taking for the remainder of my stay at Trinity. Not only is it useful and applicable in class, but also I will use it extensively in Dr. Urbach's research lab.
The parts of Excel that I am most glad to have learned would definitely be the use of charts and graphs. The ability to create a graphic to display data is essential to being a successful research scientist. I will be able to use and apply these skills in excel throughout the rest of my career both as a student and doctor. In the near future, they will be very useful in the classroom and the lab for displaying data in a succinct manner.
I am very glad that we spent so much time on Excel and I know for a fact that I will be able to apply these skills for a the rest of my life.
