As a new graduate (bachelor's in physics), can I apply for internships as a way to get my foot in the door?
I'm trying to find research (possibly contracting) positions in physics, laser science, data science, or imaging science. Looking at indeed, the only entry level positions I find are for new PhDs. Could internships be a good route to getting a foot in the door for full time positions? #science #physics #lasers #internships #data-science #imaging #optics #research #engineering
how do i know if biomedical engineering is good for me?

Following Up With Sample of Relevant Academic Work
Hello, I have drafted an e-mail to send my psychology professor but I am nervous to send it. The professor researches a topic that is significant to me, and what I hope to research in my career. I have good rapport with this professor, and we speak with each other on a first name basis as per their request. They have also encouraged me to submit my CV, transcript, and a sample of my academic writing so I can apply to volunteer in their lab next semester. I wanted to send them a video campaign I created for another class that demonstrates my passion for the subject they research and my personal interest in it, along with a summary of the video as a sample of my academic writing. I am nervous, however, because neither are perfect but I thought they may appreciate them and it would show my personal interest in what they research. I did receive a 97% on the project in the class it was submitted for. I am curious if this would be something a professor would appreciate. #university #professor #research #email #psychology

How do I get started in the Emergency Management field?
I am a current undergraduate at North Dakota State University, living in Hillsboro, OR. I am studying emergency management and biological sciences, and am currently involved with the red cross as a recovery specialist and emergency management government liaison. I am incredibly interested in disaster relief as well as tsunami disaster mitigation and preparation. I have 4 1/2 years of experience working in healthcare, 1 year was in the ER, and I am always looking for opportunities to gain more experience in health and EMGT/DMGT. Is there anyone who can provide some insight into how they got their position? What do you look for in an intern/future colleague? Anyone know anything about tsunami research? #disasterrelief #internship #emergencymanagement #healthcare #disastermanagement #tsunami #research
Is there any career where Genetics and Cancer research morphs into a single job?
I am drawn to genetic studies and also, I find myself really interested in Cancer treatment and research. I want to contribute to the advancements in Cancer research. I wanted to know if there are any courses through which I can become a Cancer researcher. Which course is it? What should I do after school to get that degree? How long will it take for the completion of that degree and where can I work after that? What's the average salary and what does the whole process look like? #research #biology #science #medicine #phD #lab #cancer
What does it take to become a NASA research scientist?
#research #science #NASA I like to learn new things every day to keep me engaged and save me from boredom. I love the type of work NASA is doing and am interested in researching because I have a perception of getting the opportunity to learn something new often. I also enjoy presenting/writing and I think that would also be part of a researcher's job. Is that true or are my presumptions incorrect. What qualities must a research scientist have and what education must such a person complete?
College biology student with too many career options
I am entering my junior year of college and do not know how to choose a career. I am a biology major with many interests and career options like optometry, genetic counseling, research, and college professor. I have shadowed an optometrist (a career I have been interested in for a long time) and could see myself in that career but am still unsure. I am also doing remote research this summer but am very limited in what I can do, and I don't think I want to write scientific papers all the time as a career. I also have no teaching or counseling experience and don't know if any other career options would fit me. I have considered medical school but I'd prefer to specialize right away in my field. I have felt a little down this summer because of my indecision. If anyone has any guidance or words of encouragement, I would greatly appreciate it :) #biology #college #science #medicine #optometry #genetics #career #doctor #research

Careers in biology other than being a physician?
Hi! I'm a junior in high school and I'm extremely passionate about biology and science in general. I've done a few research projects in various medical labs and think that health and medicine is a field I would like to pursue, but the idea of being a surgeon or physician of any kind does not interest me as much. I'm worried that if I major in biology, the only available path after graduating would be med school and I was wondering what other options were potentially out there? #biology #medschool #doctor #research
