Review of TKS
Experiencing two years of TKS, I've noticed exponential growth in my mental models, my bioinformatics work, and my overall happiness.
Before TKS
During freshman and sophomore year, I was the typical A student that participated in a few clubs (CS) here and there, not noticing the wealth of opportunities available and the potential possibilities for growth. I settled with the social norm, not pushing myself to explore deeper into interesting topics.
During TKS
I've been intersecting machine learning and bioinformatics through initiatives like detecting methylated CpG islands using Hidden Markov Models or understanding evolutionary processes through optimized sequence alignment algorithms. Additionally, I've had amazing opportunities to consult for renowned companies like PathCheck, UN, BenchSci, and most recently, Shell.
