what have you done so far?

I just got past 9th grade 😢, I’m not even from U.S.A or any country that utilizes a similar teaching method, life is quite unfair for a lot of people, but I just have to do all I can wherever I am and see if I can get a green card from my dad and study in American high school at least in 11 grade

@@willmerguzmanrodriguez6635 oof..good luck and hope you get that approval. I'm probably not getting out of my current curriculum..ever.

@@willmerguzmanrodriguez6635 con el poder de Jesus, todo sera posible. TODO. La fe is imaginable en situaciones como lo que hablaste. He conocido muchos jovenes en situaciones similares, y la verdad, es que solo con Dios puedos vencer tus retos. FE Y GOZO. Amen.

Hey Dhruv, I'll try my best to answer your questions with the experience I have. The point you bring up about finding novel "concepts" is very interesting because it mirrors a thought I've also had A LOT as I go through the research process. In high school, I would watch TED-talks of people identifying some brand new chemical that indicates an oncoming brain disease or make discoveries that seem to have no methodical way of finding. The truth is that there are so many ways to tackle research and incorporate new creative thoughts that, unfortunately, I really don't have an exact answer for you. In the video I talk about how I approach research, but there may be more creative ways out there that better explore the those "concepts" that you want to make a core part of your research. Perhaps I'll make an updated guide if I learn more from my experiences doing research in college. However, what I do believe is that creativity is an extremely valuable element in this process. The more exposure you get to the field you're doing research in, the higher the chances are that you might be able to connect the dots and find something new. I remember reading a somewhat "random" article on how diseases can have symptoms and biomarkers in different areas of the body and another publication on how brain disorders can influence other physiological aspects. A little while later, I came up with the idea of exploring heart rate data as a means of predicting seizures, all because I had seen those papers earlier. Hope that makes sense. This response is getting a bit long, so I'll quickly touch on your other questions. Don't feel like when you reach out to professors you need to invent the most brilliant idea ever and then tell them that you can make it a reality. I have some experience in machine learning, as do you, so I try to see if I can integrate some of this past knowledge into the work being done by the professor (or in their field). I put together a proposal detailing some area I'm down to explore and incorporate that into the email. The most important thing this whole process shows is that you're engaged in the work they're doing and that you have some skills and prior experience with research. If you're having trouble getting opportunities locally, expand your net and try emailing other big schools that have research programs or opportunities.

@@frostad5829 Yeah It eventually did work out for me. Rather than just cold emailing, I began to do a bit of research and also got accepted into a summer program at a local university where I was able to meet several professors and get the ability to do research over the summer. I would recommend you try and get similarly involved in the way I did if you want to find some opportunities, for my direct cold emailing didn't work out for me and I emailed around 80-90 professors. I am not sure where you are located, so I don't want to give you his information for false hope since his work is mostly in computational physics and engineering that requires you to go to the university in-person and also have an understanding of the subject already, but I can say that you can definitely find success if you go through a program of trying to network when you have a summer program.

Damn the question and the answers 🤧

Jesus is the Messiah😁

Well Jesus is the messiah smh

literally

Jesus enters the chat

i'm actually really curious about this too. do you have an update by any chance now?

Grind man. I started my junior year and i'm on my 2nd internship and i'm still a junior

@@mciii Actually? In the same situation as you, just started junior year. Please help me out man, what prior experience did you have in your field and how were you able to get the internship?

@@mciiibro I just became a junior and did 6 internships, your slacking.

sure am, got to 4 but im leaving cs@@SovietYugoslav

@@SovietYugoslav quality not quantity. how long were they? what did you do?

I try a mix of different approaches to keep my costs low. First, finding the exact machines is a little annoying, but if you do enough reading into different research papers and through scouring the internet its definitely possible. From there, you can either rent the machines (if they are portable and available), reach out to a local lab that might have them (and then go there to test), or use some contacts to get access. Sorry the answer isn't the most repeatable for every situation, but really the most important thing is to reach out to people and try different options that seem realistic. It usually works itself out from there.

how did you find those professors??

@@Poop-vr2nr Just cold email them. Any college has a faculty website. They have their emails and bios there

@@smeraarkalgud5703 did u send a resume ?

@@briannahartfield8111 Always send a resume so they understand you a bit more

Hi, if it doesn't take much of your time, can you tell me how you found this amazing internship? I'm a rising freshman and is interested in the medical field:)

@@maomaozzz Hey!! My school has a program in which they find professionals looking for students in the area and give us their emails. I wrote a thoughtful email about my interest in the doctors previous work and she offered me an interview. From there she picked a limited amount of students in my area. If your school does not do this sort of program I recommend finding these professionals looking for help and truly express your interest. Perhaps cold email some doctors or other scientists to find an area that interest you. I’m also interning at a veterinary clinic and I REALLY like it. It’s some very nice exposure to the medical field especially at an age where your opportunities are restricted. I even got to assist in some surgeries! Do what you love and get yourself out there!! I wish you the best of luck 🙏🙏

@@anthonyrodas4040hi do you have any contact info bc I’m also a rising sophomore and my school doesn’t offer much information on outside opportunities

I want to get involved in it can u help me out with some contacts or oppurtunities?

get a degree first

bruh@@rooksman64

Given the situation here's my input. The actual place you do the internship isn't really that important, in contrast to what you're doing there and whether or not you're enjoying it (special exceptions are really well known universities or programs). In regards to getting paid, I've never really valued it that much because it's typically minimum wage and I wasn't to desperate for quick money in high school. If I were you, I would take in some new factors to consider when deciding where to do your research. Think about how likely it is that you will publish a paper in each location. If you're unsure, feel free to reach out to the professors you might be working with or the people coordinating the program to see how realistic it is (and if you would have a reasonable role as an author on the paper). I think rejecting offers shouldn't be much of a worry unless you personally know the people, so you're better of at leasing sending in a decent application to these other 2-3 programs you're interested in. If you already have a few essays written that you can reuse it shouldn't take you too long (hopefully). Hope that clears things up for you.

@@preachingp dub, thanks so much. I was under the impression that a paid internship was MASSIVELY better than an unpaid internship, and the company mattered more than involvement, so thanks for clarifying that.

how did u get it?

ayy how’s it going ?

@@mello-by I actually submitted to a journal 3 months ago :) and I started research in a lab. Wish me luck 🤞

@@mustaqeemalmahdi4596 this Is something anyone can do at home with their laptop. First you need a question ur trying to answer, then u find all the papers about that topic, compile them together, and draw conclusions from all the research you’ve done. This is basically a non-systematic review.

@@saalllmmmmaaaa nice!! good luck! (sorry if this is an invasive question but if you don’t mind my asking what was the subject of your paper? I’m really interested in pharmacology ‘^^)

Did you presented it ? Do we always need a supervisor to write a research paper ?

No

NO WAY HI AAKASH

Relatable yarrr.

so true all we do in high school is solving PYQs for entrance exams

Maybe do research on psychology of people during a recession etc

Yes it would be a great idea! I’m also a rising sophomore in high school and I want to become an engineer and actor and I wanna go to ucla or usc. It would definitely help to do independent research bc it would give you a huge advantage in college applications.

For JEI you need a mentor, whether that be a teacher or parent.

@@user-uf7nx3nn1f Thanks for responding. I’ll probably write another research paper later in the future and I’ll probably submit it to JEI

@@audrey2498 fuck that school!!!

lots of summer research programs that i’ve seen so far have had their application deadlines in february so sadly i don’t think so

Of highschool??? Heck nah

Being an expert in coding is CRUCIAL for college these days. You should be already on the same skill as cs major seniors in community college. Then use the coding concepts to craft a project in your own imaginative and creative way
