Hi! I’m a senior off to college next fall.
I really want to do research or be part of a biology lab this summer but have had no luck emailing about 15 Stanford professors (it’s the school closest to me) since mid-April. Should I continue emailing and hoping for the best or is it too late at this point? If it’s too late then are there any other ways I can learn how to do lab research? I want to go into college being prepared to do actual hands-on research.
My friends, who do research, also intern/volunteer/work in hospitals, community colleges (some near my place; however, most don’t have that type of funding), and pharmaceutical groups.
You can always do research on your own (at home, school, etc.), and try to work on a paper.
