Why 魅影直播? "I got good vibes from 魅影直播. It seemed like a place I would like to be. I was very interested in Dr. Malachowski's research and I felt that I connected with the other graduate students almost immediately. It was easy to speak with all the professors that I met and I felt like this was definitely a close, intimate environment that truly fostered learning and research. Plus, I always trust my vibes - they never lead my astray. Well...almost never鈥攗nless I'm running in unfamiliar territory. Or I get distracted. Or I find a new trail."

What Maria loves to do besides chemistry: Run marathons.
