"But you can't play with all that expensive equipment until you get to at least the graduate level."
This will come as a surprise to the expensive equipment I used as an undergrad.
- mysterypie 10y agoDid you design and run your own independent experiments as an undergrad? Or did you do assigned and supervised lab work following exact procedures from an exercise book in a group setting with a lab instructor watching over you, and you had to be done and out within 2-3 hours?
- Fomite 10y agoI ran my own independent experiments, usually designed to help a graduate student with one of his projects, and was then left to my own devices. If it was done in 2-3 hours, it was because the cultures needed to incubate overnight anyway. I did group lab work with an instructor as well, but my university had a pretty vibrant undergraduate research program.
