"I enjoyed learning chemistry at UCR for many reasons. I was able to meet professors who are willing to support me and guide me. Also, my co-workers were nice and very friendly. I enjoyed working with them very much. I feel like I became a better chemist by working in UCR. I will never forget those days I spent time and effort at UCR as a research chemist."
