Research Opportunities ?

I’m a rising senior, and I am trying to build a good background in life sciences like biology/biochemistry or anything medical related and research for college. I want to apply for top schools, thus I felt it was best to start setting the foundation now itself. Are there any research programs/opportunities available for me?

Is ThinkNeuro a legit research internship opportunity eventhough their asking to pay $40?

I got accepted to the neuroscience research section and felt like it was a red flag because they are now asking for a $40 fee after never addressing it in their promotion. Is there any better place to actually do scientific research that would be valuable to ivy leagues.

Cold emailing and research as a high school student?

I am interested in being involved with research labs and research projects but feel that I cannot do that until college. I live in an area with little large colleges and universities near me so I find it difficult to get involved with research. I am interested in cold emailing professors for research opportunities and was wondering if it was acceptable to be doing that as a high school sophomore. If not, would anyone suggest ways to be involved in research, either paid or unpaid? If you're a professor or have experience would you help answer my questions? Thank you.

Is it too late to do cs research as a junior in high school?

I am a junior in high school and only recently found out that research with a professor was an extracurricular activity. Since it is already halfway into the year and I am a junior, could I also reach out to a professor and do this or is it too late? I found some paid programs during the summer that do research but take up the entire summer and I would have no time to do other programs. Is there any way to reach out to a professor and ask to do research with them from now or feb/march to until school ends? If there is, how many professors should I be emailing and how should I ask them to do it from now or feb/march to until school ends? Also, are there any requirements/skills that these professors look for in regards to cs research? Thanks a bunch!

I wanted to do a research paper on how water quality affects the human body and causes specific things to happen. However I’m only a tenth grader in high school and was confused on how to get started with it I was also wondering if I could publish this research paper so the work doesn’t go to waste? I know this kind of research was already done but I just wanted to see it for myself in my specific area.?

I was going to start with sampling water in different buildings around where I live but I can’t figure out how to do it beyond that.

What careers in chemistry if I love ochem?

I’m a junior in college and recently decided that my major, marine biology, isn’t going to work out. But I love chemistry and am taking organic chemistry at the moment and find it so fascinating . I need to talk with my advisor to tell her that I need to switch to biochemistry or chemistry degree. I figured biochemistry would have the best of both worlds , chemistry and biology, but the more I read they don’t work with the nitty gritty of chemistry itself but of the interactions with organisms. Is that true? I know I need to go to grad school so don’t want to make the wrong choice , I just I enjoy science, mechanisms and the actual interactions with molecules themselves and specifically organic chemistry . Is there a career that would involve that ? Ideally I would want to work in a lab as well . Thanks ! ? Also, I’ve researched into environmental chemist, do they work with chemistry much or just mainly policy and paperwork ?
