<p>I'm going to be a junior when summer ends and will take ap chemistry during 11th grade(I will be going through chem books over summer in order to prep for the chemistry olympiad and Sci Bowl). I already took Ap Bio during 10th grade.</p>
<p>So I'm looking for some research opportunities to seek out this summer so that I can continue it the summer between 11th and 12th grade (dedicating whole summer to only research, and hopefully get into a good program). I would also want to do it during my junior year but only on weekends and breaks because of my heavy course load. </p>
<p>So, I imagine research in the biochem field would be fit for me due to my classes and my interests. I am familiar with a local state university, CSUN, in which I am trying to get a position to discover the basics with research, learn how do conduct some experiments, and hopefully find out what I want to do with my project</p>
<p>CSUN : Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry</p>
<p>I've heard that I should just email the professors after looking through their works, and explain my interest in the field and see which professors would be willing to work with a high school student.</p>
<p>Is there any type of particular format in which I should email these professors or do you guys have any advice for my endeavors? Thanks! :]</p>
