Zachary Lim
I'm a fifth-year PhD candidate working on using computational linguistics methods to uncover patterns in social behavior, specifically, how researchers navigate methodological disputes. My goal is to better understand how various practices in research contribute to or detract from the value of research in society—interdisciplinary research is my jam! But as important as my research is, it's only one aspect of my life. These past few years have also been incredibly formative for me in terms of developing hobbies, understanding myself better, and fostering deep friendships—activities that are crucial yet often overshadowed by pressures for professional progress. Throughout my time at Harvard, I've been involved in trying to create spaces for others (and myself!) to explore these aspects of their lives and more through organizing events and creating opportunities for people to get involved.

I am a fourth-year PhD student at Harvard Medical School in the biological and biomedical sciences program. I am originally from Los Angeles, CA, and moved to Boston for my undergraduate degree. As a first-generation college student, I studied biology and chemistry at MIT, where I was involved in different outreach programs in the Office of Engineering Outreach Programs as well as student groups such as the Leadership Training Institute.
