    • When working with students or new employees, have you come across wet lab skills gaps that surprised you?
    • And, once identified, did you do anything to help fill those skills gaps? If not, what is preventing you from doing so?
    • Or maybe you have personally had an experience in which you came to discover one of your own skills gaps. What was your experience like in working to get that gap filled?
