Eric Laws, a PhD student at the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, studies bacterial cells and data storage. His mentors at UNC Greensboro have inspired him to pursue his greatest passion: communicating scientific ideas through teaching. “To see that little light that goes on in people’s eyes when they understand something is pretty cool,” he says. “I want to be a teacher that students come to, and then leave with more knowledge and less stress.” #UNCGWayWatch more UNCG stories: uncgstories.uncg.eduFollow UNCG on social: Twitter: https://twitter.com/UNCG Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncg1891/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncg/ Web: http://www.uncg.edu/
