BTD Episode 4 - Thomas Iverson

In this episode, I interview Thomas Iverson, who is a Kinesiology student with specialization in Multidisciplinary Sciences at the University of British Columbia. He is also a recipient of the UBC Kinesiology Alumni Scholarship, which is awarded to undergraduate students in Kinesiology who have displayed exceptional academic achievement, leadership, and competency in their field of specialization.

He shares his experience in the program at UBC, discussing his motivations for applying, his advice for incoming and current students, and what he would have done differently earlier on. I dive deep into his research experiences, analyzing the differences between his positions, how he got them, his responsibilities, and the steps he took to get involved in a paper. Below are some resources mentioned in the episode.
