What is the burden of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in resource-limited settings?

Rewarding

My experience during this research program was challenging. Before this program I had no experience in research, my expectations for this program was just to google information about a certain topic and present my findings. This program is so much more than that, I have learned how to write a research paper, cite sources, read through papers while quoting important points. This program has prepared me for the future and I am glad that I have participated in it.

JAMES, 16

Is air pollution an environmental cause of breast cancer in women aged 40 above in Taiwan?

Efficient

I gained lots of new skills by writing a literature review based on my research question: “Is Nanomedicine More Effective Than Traditional Antibiotics at Reducing Tuberculosis Rates in Indonesia?”. With guidance from my research mentor, I learned what to avoid in scientific writing and the importance of being direct and succinct. To find the right balance between too fluffy, too vague and not enough information.

It was a steep learning curve; I knew nothing about scientific literature review. Everything was new to me: searching for articles, choosing, reading and analyzing the articles. Most of the articles were very technical and took lots of effort and time to understand. However, overall, the experience was very beneficial. It is something that is not taught inside the classrooms and the skills I gained were new learning experiences.
