<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I am currently a research assistant for a history professor who is writing a book. I am assisting him by performing literature searches of scholarly sources and compiling information that will assist him in writing his book. I am a bio major and a pre-med student who will apply for med schools in the future. I am doing this research because I enjoy learning about history as a hobby. Will this research look appealing to the med schools despite the fact that it isn't science research? I understand that science research would look more appealing for obvious reasons but I am not sure about doing it because I have had little exposure to it previously and do not want to get bogged down with being involved in two research projects in a semester where I am taking Orgo 1 and a advanced Bio class. Now my school does have a program where students can get involved doing research with a biological sciences faculty member for 2-3 so the opportunities are there for me. The first semester would involve me doing literature searches/attending lab meetings and getting my "feet wet" so it may not be too much of a hassle right away. However, this is difficult literature I will be reading so it will still be time consuming.</p>
<p>So what suggestions do you guys have for me in regards to research and do you think my history research will look meaningful?</p>
