Fanxi Gao: This experience in the Nematology has been truly meaningful and unforgettable
I am incredibly grateful and fortunate to have had the opportunity to join the Nematology group from September 2024 for my research practice. Under the guidance of my supervisors, I have gained invaluable insights throughout the experiment and writing process. Whenever I had questions, I could communicate with them effectively to receive the help I needed. At the same time, I had opportunities to conduct and organize experiments independently, which significantly improved my experimental techniques and critical thinking.

This experience in the Nematology has been truly meaningful and unforgettable
My research focused on exploring the impact of wheat genotype diversity and crop development on the dynamics of soil nematode communities. This was my first time engaging in nematode-related experiments, learning about Nanopore sequencing technology, and performing data analysis in R. These four months have been a positive learning experience, enhancing me with skills and knowledge that will undoubtedly benefit my future studies and career.
Moreover, the overall atmosphere in the Nematology group has been wonderful. Everyone is supportive, actively helping to solve problems. During thesis ring discussions, group members carefully reviewed each other's drafts and provided constructive feedback, which were really helpful. The supervisors of the thesis ring were professional and friendly, making discussions more logical.
This experience in the Nematology has been truly meaningful and unforgettable. I am deeply thankful to everyone for their guidance and support, and I sincerely hope the group continues to thrive, making greater contributions to the field of nematology.
