Many undergraduate students desire to pursue undergraduate research in order to meet premedical requirements, gain experience for graduate school, or add a strong experience to their resume. However, finding a research lab as an undergraduate can be a lot harder than it seems. In part 1, we go over ways that undergraduate students can maximize their chance at securing a research position through cold emailing, networking, and approaching professors after class. In part 2, we talk about my new research position at the Boys Town National Research Hospital Institute for Human Neuroscience, and I briefly cover the powerful tool that I will be working with throughout the summer, magnetoencephalography (MEG).
