Last episode, we talked about how to get a position as an undergraduate research assistant in a research lab. But once you get that role, how should you begin? In part 1 of this episode, we talk about coming up with a research project that best fits your interests, how to actually get started with your project, and defining expectations for your project with your mentor. In part 2 (starting at 14:20), I talk about my weekly research updates at Boys Town, including the specific research project that I will be working on this summer involving working memory and transcranial direct current stimulation, or TDCS.
