What advice do you have for prospective or new researchers?

I wish I knew how to get started and when. One thing a lot of people don't understand is that you can get into research as quick as you want and that its all on you how fast that gets done. I want to make sure people know that research is easily accessible at this university. I want to give advice on how to reach out and where to look for labs that you may be interested in. I want to help people not only get into research, but get into research that they genuinely enjoy.
