I see a lot of people on this site talking about wanting to get involved in research, and I’ve been wondering, what exactly is research? What do you do if you’re researching? I don’t quite understand the whole concept. I’ve read of people asking professors if they could research with them, but how could a high schooler participate in this so called research? Thank you in advanced for your replies.
Usually it means work in a lab
@Shanban1607 conducting experiments, running tests, documentation, etc. (although “documentation” may be up to interpretation). If it’s a more theoretical subject like math, computer science, or theoretical physics, it may involve trying to come up with solutions to difficult, or even unsolved, problems.
