Back to a question that was asked earlier, how much knowledge should a person have going in? What if you just have an interest in the field and want to pursue it further? Do the professors expect you to actually have some concrete knowledge on their research? Isn’t that a lot to ask of a high school student? Also, when is the best time of year to inquire about research opps? Would it be better to email professors before the summer or inquire about a weekend position? I don’t really know much about research and am searching for any opportunities. any advice would really help. thanks.
