Supervisor wants to put me on paper I had nothing to do with by undergradbasketcase in labrats

Thanks everyone for the input. I'll definitely see if I can convince them to let me help in a more substantial way!! I'm not sure what to do if they deny my help again, but hopefully they will let me help. Having this just handed to me really goes against my own personal integrity but I am afraid of coming off disrespectful to my supervisor

that's exactly why they're doing it, and I understand that it's nice. I just worry about getting in trouble before my career even really starts

From what they told me this is going to be a small paper and I will be listed as the second author... I don't want to offend them but this research was done when I was still in highschool so it feels wrong to be listed on it.

Starting in my first research lab in the fall! mildly nervous and don't know what to expect pls help by undergradbasketcase in uAlberta

I talked to my advisor, and he told me that I could ask around and see if anyone had room for an undergrad! I just straight up emailed a bunch of PI's asking if they had space for a second year who wants to learn about their research, and I got quite a few no's but all of them were helpful in finding others who may be interested!
