Can Someone give a high school student advice on research?

<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>

<p>There is no particular format. A concise, articulate letter which gives your background and expectations would be sufficient, IMO.</p>

<p>My only concern would be that you should have probably started the process before the summer got here so you would have a whole summer to work instead of having to spend all this extra time looking for an opportunity. Bold path to be taking here.</p>

<p>Most professors are open to having a high school student in their labs, however you might have wanted to email them before the summer. It took me almost two months just finding a professor and ultimately arranging all the stuff for the lab. I started working in the lab about a month before school ended.
Perhaps you may get lucky, so just email as many professors as possible.</p>

<p>I have a new technology, need to do testing, I hope you can see</p>

<p>I do occasionally find time to experiment this phenomenon, the voltage applied to the chemical solution, you can release a special wave to treat the disease.
After a year of experiments I obtained this recipe now, for the treatment of inflammation, enhance human immunity. Also have a therapeutic effect on myopia.
I now open this technology and hope to gain more extensive testing. I hope this technology can cure cancer, we can not test, I hope someone can do this test.

<p>Have any questions please leave a message</p>

<p>Ok, so I emailed a couple professors who’s research I found interesting and every single one emailed me back saying that they would “love to work me with and talk about their research.” …Unfortunately, now I have to decline the offers of many professors whose research I like because I can only pick one. Do you guys have any advice on how to decline such a great offer after sending them very enthusiastic emails? I feel kind of bad now haha xD</p>

<p>Tell the ones you don’t want to work with about your salary requirements.</p>

<p>This same thing happened to me. Make sure you reject them softly because you never know if the lab you choose will work out. Make sure you tell them how much you appreciate their consideration but that you won’t be able to work with them.</p>

<p>^That is how you should do it. Don’t leave them hanging but don’t just completely shut the door either.</p>
