3. Summary MNPs occupy many areas of nanobiotechnology because they can be

functionalized through surface modification. Currently, there is a reproducibility problem in the scientific community. The growing number of undergraduates in the field of materials science leaves open the possibility of mass-verification of new claims that more seasoned scientists cannot afford to spend time on. This could shift the way scientists in other fields report their research, while more students become interested in expanding their reproduced results in graduate school because of their contribution to the field. This paper is intended to inform undergraduate researchers in the material sciences on lessons I learned along the way. The modifications outlined will hopefully lead to more undergraduate research outcomes in the future.
