\nErik Arneson<\/span>

\n<\/TABLE>Twenty-two undergraduate students are spending the summer at UNMC doing research. <\/p>\n

They are called INBRE scholars<\/a> and are part of the largest grant in UNMC history.<\/p>\n

Today we feature Erik Arneson, a junior from Creighton University pursuing a major in biology.<\/p>\n

What people should know about you?<\/b>
\nI have a tremendous amount of curiosity and am fascinated by why things are the way they are, both in a scientific setting and otherwise. I also consider myself a pretty competitive person, so I always want to be the guy who figures something out first or is able to provide the best answer. I feel that these qualities give me a drive to excel in science.<\/p>\n

How long have you been interested in science?<\/b>
\nI’ve been interested in science since I was very little. I was really into catching bugs and frogs and trying to keep them as pets, which probably gave my mom fits. Eventually that love of nature turned into an interest in biology and science in general. <\/p>\n
