What advice do you have for prospective or new researchers?

The beauty of research is its vast diversity, so take the time to explore different fields until you find a project that genuinely excites you, as this passion is key to a rewarding research experience. Also, embrace the learning process: you will fail, but you will also learn so much from these setbacks. Research is all about experimenting and exploring uncharted routes! Be fearless, not reckless.
