Meet Mary Peck: Advancing Cardiovascular and Applied Physiology Research

Meet Mary Peck, a senior Exercise Physiology student at Florida State University and future physician, as she shares her journey as a clinical research assistant in the Cardiovascular and Applied Physiology (CAP) Laboratory.

In this interview, Mary reflects on her transformative experience in the lab and how hands-on research bridges the gap between core coursework—like anatomy and metabolism—and real-world clinical application. She also offers encouraging advice for fellow students, emphasizing the power of curiosity and why every student should take a "leap of faith" into the world of research.
