Undergraduate Research

• "Cold" email professors

  • Introduce yourself and your education/experience background

  • Describe your interests

  • State what you are interested in

  • Something like this is good: "If you have any positions available, know of any opportunities, or could direct me to someone who might, I would greatly appreciate your assistance".

• Twitter is a great resource; search by topics you are interested in and find people doing cool research
