Getting involved in research is a great way to build your skills and get the “behind the scenes” look into the science that you later learn about in your textbooks and classes. If you’re thinking of going to graduate or medical school, ideally you want to be starting in a lab by your sophomore year and in most cases no later than your junior year. But how do you find and apply for a position? And what do you do if no positions are available? We’ll go over tips for both these situations.

NOTE: The live session will be recorded and posted on the STAR Scholars website if you are unable to attend.
