So, whilst I'm preparing a question to investigate for the science fair season, I was wondering if questions like: "Why is _______ more effective in _______ compared to other _______?" I was just wondering, in what way can I view that and somehow make out a novel solution, especially since I'm really limited on resources so, I'm investigating this computationally. My other question is do questions with more general and understood background do better or do questions that are more specific do better? I'm asking this because I'm thinking about diving into deep waters with a certain topic but then, I'm always considering if it might not be as useful and have as good outreach as a project that is more general. Please let me know. Thank You!

Hello, I am a freshman right now and I really want to make isef in the next few years of high school. So far I am not entirely convinced with what project I would like to do. Would it be a better idea to brainstorm this year, and refine an idea that I would present next year, as opposed to rushing this year? If I should present next year, what is the earliest I can start working on the project. The 12 and 18 month research limits from the site are a bit comfusing to me lol

did anyone have to read these truths for APUSH? I have a test on chapters 1-4 but I need studying resources, can anyone help?

Hello everyone, Something happened to me today and it just melted my heart. I don't cry usually but the little things just make me emotional. I e-mailed a bunch of professors and tbh I was not expecting a reply because it's cold emailing, right? I just casually checked my email and there was a response, I was like okay let's read a rejection letter and yeah, the professor was busy so she couldn't accept me to her lab but no sooner had I scrolled I saw that she has shared the email to 2 more professors whose research align with mine. It might be a really small thing for her or most of the people but literally there were tears in my eyes. I don't know either I am at my vulnerable state where little things can upset me or make my day Or I genuinely felt a warm vibe, there was something really positive. It is 3:42 in the morning and I am just sitting in front of screen feeling really happy. I am pretty sure that I am not gonna get any research position because probably I am late but it's okay. You would think of me as someone dumb for being emotional on such a little thing, but it meant a lot to me. So yeah, thanks for reading Have a nice day!

I don't know a lot about mentorship and I threw away three chances for an internship. However, I was looking at the ICOR publication by Rishab and I was extremely confused to see a lot of the professors from BU. I thought since he lives in Oregon, how could he have commuted with people in Boston as in CT where I'm from, they made a big deal about me driving 90 minutes to get to the actual laboratory. So I was wondering if he would communicate on zoom or such platforms. Please let me know if any of you had to do anything similar. Thank you.
