Qualifying for Research Competitions
Hey all, so I'm a rising junior, and I'm planning to get started on my research project this Fall. I've identified my field of interest to be biochemistry, or more specifically, protein folding, and how predicting its structure could pave way for drug discovery, understanding disease pathology, etc. But my question is, as a junior, if I'm just getting started, and I wanted reach ISEF or Regeneron STS, would I be too late to the game? It's just the deadlines and dates for ISEF and Regeneron are confusing because of their requirements, especially since ISEF qualification requires going through an ISEF-related fair.
