This week I spent my time reading articles from pubmed.com on studies similar to my own. Soon Dr. M and I will be working on writing up an abstract. An abstract basically encapsulates the breadth and depth of your research in 3-4 sentences. Today I began drafting up bullet points for what that might look like and will go over them with Dr. M next week. I never realized that clinical research would require so much reading and writing. I suppose that's why liberal arts schools have requirements across disciplines...even when the work you're directly doing is science and math you for sure need to be skilled in humanities!
I read 4 studies that were studying similar things as my own in order to get a feel for what my paper should end up looking like. I feel like I'm on the right track.

Yes, that is the power of liberal arts! "Breadth and depth of your research in 3-4 sentences" sounds like an oxymoron, but you are correct that this is an important part of of scientific communication.
