Sounds like a great project, Jaylene! Finding a dermatologist or biology major to interview isn’t as hard as tracking down a rare skin condition—promise.
First, check out local dermatology clinics or university biology departments. Many professionals love sharing their knowledge (and let’s be real, they enjoy feeling like the expert). Call or email their offices, or even slide into their LinkedIn DMs with a polite request. Professors and medical students are also great options—they remember the struggle of school projects and might be more willing to help.
For dermatology, expect insights on everything from skincare myths to the serious science behind diagnosing conditions. For biology majors, you might get stories of lab experiments gone wrong (hello, exploding beakers) or advice on career paths, from research to medicine.
If you need an insider perspective, I’d be happy to assist as I have worked close to dermatologists so you can ask if you need something here as well. Now Good luck—your future interviewees don’t know it yet, but they’re about to have a blast answering your questions. 🤗☺️

That sounds like a great project! While I can’t personally connect you with a dermatologist or biology major, I can suggest a few ways to find professionals who may be open to an interview:
1. Reach Out to Local Dermatology Clinics ; Call or email local dermatologists' offices and explain your project. Some doctors enjoy helping students and may be willing to do a short interview.
2. Contact University Biology Professors or Medical School Faculty Email biology professors at nearby universities or community colleges. Many professors enjoy mentoring students and may be open to answering your questions.
3. Use LinkedIn to Find Professionals Search for "dermatologist" or "biology major" on LinkedIn. Send a polite message explaining your project and asking if they’d be willing to chat.
4. Try Reddit or Professional Forums The r/biology and r/medicine subreddits sometimes have professionals willing to answer student questions. Medical forums like Student Doctor Network (SDN) may also be helpful.
5. Check with Your School Counselor or Science Teachers They may have connections to alumni or local professionals who could help. Would you like help drafting a message or email to request an interview? Let me know, and I can create a professional and polite template for you!
