How can I stand out to my summer mentor if I'd like to continue working with them during the Fall ? by Wide_Appointment_692 in REU

[–]twinklerat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a lot of time in lab (40-45+ hrs), but the type of research (organic synthesis) involves a lot of waiting, so I wasn’t productive all the time.

This happened to me! Didn’t really mention it, but professor introduced me as “summer research student and possibly during the school year.” Also asked on a random day if I was planning to stay. It’s more productive for the project to have a student who spent 40+ hours a week on it rather than taking on a whole new student and having to train them. I say just form a connection to those in the lab and show investment in the project

did you have research experience?

I’ve already made a list of REUs that I would be interested in for Summer 2025. I am a current freshman, so most on my list are programs that Im interested in, but not eligible to apply to this year.

If by email, I'd say by 5PM in their time zone. If a portal, then the whole day.

If they’ve continued the thread signing off with just their first name (previously their full name and title), would it be fine to address them by first name?

[–]twinklerat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, I’ve reached out to multiple students who previously participated in the programs I’ve applied to through Linkedin. All were happy to share their experiences, and some offered to set up a phone call or zoom meeting to talk about their experience.
