How to find your style?
I found out, as I had my dream internship, that I am really not the creative type. I can't formulate creative and innovative ideas. Everything seems to be benchmarked or derived from someone else's formula. I am too traditional. My eye for design is proper and pleasing to the eye. Somehow bland and strict and not sassy and popping colours or the genZ way.
how to cold email for research opportunities?
Hi! I'm currently a sophomore and 15 years old. I want to start cold emailing for research opportunities, but I'm not sure where to begin. Should I email a professor or a graduate student and ask if they know of any professors who have openings? I saw someone recommend that approach. Do you have any tips or a template I could use? I don't have any impressive extracurricular activities or experience, but I am interested in pre-med. Please help!!
