At Clark, I study biology but have never worked in a lab before. The other girls I came here with have all been in a lab. I felt like I had to step up my game just to keep up with them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of that changed the day I learned how to split a cell line. I was so excited. Just seeing the cells come off the plate, seeing them grow and knowing I could take living cells and keep them alive. That was cool. I felt empowered, like I could do anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:today@unmc.edu\">Share your &#8220;Only@UNMC&#8221; moments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\"
