Lab Advice
For undergrads, masters students, aspiring PhD students.
Space in research laboratories is limited. But one of the most important experiences at your level is whether you have meaningful exposure to scientific research (and ideally independent work). If you are in engineering/science do everything you can to get that experience. If you're lucky enough to have a choice, choose carefully the field, because it sets you on a path that takes great effort to change.
