<p>How does one go about contacting a local professor at a university about doing research in their lab? Do you email them, talk with them personally, write a letter? And would you send a resume or something?</p>
<p>I'm not talking about summer programs or anything. I'm talking about professors who are looking for free labor to do their grunt work for them. </p>
