biology internship

<p>has anyone ever had a biology internship at a local university? the biology research projects i've looked up on the net seem too complicated for high school students to be of much help...also, is emailing professors at uc berkeley a reach? should i stick to a less competitive college? thanks in advance</p>

<p>bump .......</p>

<p>I'm going to be working in the neuroscience lab at Georgetown this summer. I just emailed a professor after hearing him lecture at a science symposium for high school students, and he agreed.</p>

<p>have u taken ap bio or studied neuroscience extensively?
i feel that i wont be of much help to college professors...</p>

<p>I took honors biology in 9th grade and IB Biology SL in 11th (continuing into 12th). I've done a bit of reading on my own, and plan to do quite a bit more before July, but I wouldn't say I've studied it extensively.</p>
