Robin Aglietti committed to taking one photo each day for calendar year 2010, and she succeeded. The kind of commitment needed to carry out this self-imposed photo assignment is also needed to be a scientist, she explains.

Aglietti is a PhD graduate student in the Chemistry and Chemistry and Chemical Biology program at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She works in the laboratory of John Gross, PhD, a UCSF School of Pharmacy faculty member.

Aglietti shares here her thoughts on photography and how it has made her a better scientist.
