Not a bio guy, but in general: talk to more people! List people you think are doing good work and ask em directly.
Also generically: try to do some real work in as many of them as you can. I don’t know how common undergrad research assistants are in your fields, or in Australian unis, but it should be doable (if you’re handling your courseload ok).
Thanks so much for replying! Really appreciate the advice.
I definitely should try to contact some more experts, thanks for that push. Getting some more experience is a good idea too, it’s a bit tricky at the moment due to uncertainties with COVID but as soon as things start to open back up, I’ll do my best to get in contact. I’m sure it’ll be useful regardless of the field I go into.
Means a lot that you took the time to reply, I’ll do my best to follow your advice and I’ll hopefully leave an update here at some point to say how I’m going with it.
and P.S. thanks so much, I see we both have refined tastes :P
