What advice do you have for prospective or new researchers?
Don’t hesitate to reach out to people and use the resources on campus! Most researchers are happy to share their experiences and offer guidance to help you get started. Research isn’t just for those planning an academic career, it can be a valuable way to explore your interests, develop new skills, and learn more about potential future paths.
