Faculty lab: Research Professor Jack Germaine
Hometown: Tehran, Iran
Why Tufts?
It’s a big enough institution to have everything you need, yet small enough to feel homey.
Favorite thing about living in the Medford/Somerville and Boston area?
I live in Cambridge and I love the diversity. I’ve met people from all walks of life, from scientists to business people and artists, and from more than 40 countries.
Any advice you’d give to prospective students or new graduate students?
Invest in a good winter coat and a bike, you’re going to need them both!
