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!!

How do I break down a term paper?
Why is writing a term paper so difficult, and how do I break it down to its simplest form so I do not get overwhelmed? I use APA7 format, and I struggle with it so much. Finding headings and how to word things to sound interesting, yet technical, is trying.
