you can’t get first authorship like any old intership. it takes a HUGE time committment (usually a whole year off after graduating) and luck (getting into the right lab). you have to be very active in the lab (meaning you can’t just run gels and centrifuge for hours a day; you need to be actively discussing the experiment with the PI).
