Okay, thank you for the tips.

One last question: when emailing the professors I am interested in working with, I would like to be able to say: “I enjoyed reading your paper on insert subject matter.” However, I am only able to comprehend a small amount of what these papers cover, and many of them are filled with complicated topics and, for lack of a better phrase, “big words.” They are also extremely math-heavy. This makes me worried because I’m not sure I’m ready to do research at this level. It’s hard to believe that there are kids my age who understand this stuff and conduct research themselves!

Any tips?
