They hired me full-time and have been working in the lab for about 2.5 years now. So far I only have 2 publications that I am a co-author on. I was hoping I would have a first-author publication before applying, but COVID-19 shut down our lab for a couple months. I also have been working part-time in another lab for about 2 years. Will have 3 strong LORs from PIs in the department I work for. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: One year as volunteer chair in a pre-health science clu Applying to Where: I'm looking at applying to infectious disease and/or microbiology programs.

Any advice or suggestions is very much appreciated! ? Thanks!
