How do I find proffessors to email for research?
I'm currently a rising Junior in highschool looking for ways to email professors for research oppurtunities(interested in electrical engineering/maching learning) and I was wondering how to find professors who are currently doing labs, or should I just email professors from these fields and in my email say "If there is currently a lab available I would be interested in doing any sort of work to get hands on experience" or something like this?
How do PhD admission officers think about an undergraduate who worked in two research labs simultaneously?
I am currently a rising sophomore who started in a genetics lab in March. I found a really interesting opportunity to work in a biomedical engineering lab, and their position description requires me to learn many software skills which will be helpful for my bioinformatics track. Assuming I can handle the workload, would adding a second lab strengthen my PhD application? Or might it raise concerns about my ability to commit deeply to one research lab?
