RESEARCH
EXPERIENCE
Perhaps the single most important step
you can take to enhance your undergraduate training in neuroscience is
to acquire hands-on laboratory experience. For many undergraduates, the
idea of laboratory work grows out of sheer excitement about the field.
They may have been inspired to talk to a faculty member after a
particularly interesting lecture or they may learn about an interesting
research project that requires help from undergraduate volunteers. No
matter how you may learn about research opportunities, it is up to you
to get involved.
By working productively in a research
laboratory -- whether as a student volunteer, for course credit, or a
summer job -- you are demonstrating a commitment of time and effort that
graduate admissions committees consider extremely important. You also
are learning first hand what laboratory research is all about. In fact,
if your project is particularly successful, you may find yourself
co-author of a paper presented at a research meeting or a paper written
for publication in a scientific journal.
