I went to another university other than my bachelor’s to help out with a summer study of someone my undergrad advisor was helping. The prof advising that study asked me if I wanted to take on a research project in their grad program. So serendipity. Toxicology.

Yep - I have. PhD without a masters. But it started as a masters and “rolled into” a PhD. For research-based graduate degrees (masters and PhD), the difference is the depth of the research and the conclusions that can be inferred. PhD is usually about 4 years full-time depending on the project, while a masters is about half of that.
