How exactly does one do "research"?

<p>D. was hired as lab Assistant at local university while in HS for couple summers. She will be intern at med. research lab at her school starting next year. She just contacted Lab, went thru interview, they liked that she already had experience which is very similar to what she will be doing. The first was paid job, the second is not paid, which is OK, since she has a very good job at her school working for Chem. prof.</p>
