<p>no, more like you look at an institutions webpage, find the faculty page and start emailing scientists asking if you can work or volunteer in their lab, why you are interested, and send them like a resume too. That’s what i did. So for example, i wanted a position at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. So i went to their webpage and they have different departments for the School of Medicine, so i chose the one I was interested in, checked out the faculty, and read their bios. If one person’s research stands out to you, then email them. But it takes a while, because you will be rejected A LOT. Some scientists will say they don’t want high schoolers working in their lab or you’re not experienced enough. I e-mailed at least 20 scientists before i found a lab :] But trust me, it pays off and the lab experience is worthwhile.</p>
