What Does It Actually Take to Do Undergrad Research? | CUBEC Curiosity ft. Dr. Michael Garton

Описание: What does it actually take to get involved in biomedical engineering research as an undergrad? Dr. Michael Garton of the Garton Lab breaks it down.

In the first episode of CUBEC Curiosity, we sit down with Dr. Michael Garton to talk about how undergraduate students find their footing in research — the questions they ask, the moments that matter, and what makes a student stand out in a research environment.

CUBEC Curiosity is a series by the Canadian Undergraduate Biomedical Engineering Council that spotlights the labs, researchers, and ideas shaping biomedical engineering — told in a way that's actually accessible to students.

Whether you're looking for your first research opportunity, already in a lab, or just curious about what research life looks like, this episode is for you.
