How can I get involved in research early on in college, especially in biotechnology or healthcare?
I want to be hands-on and contribute to something meaningful, but I’m not sure where to start or how competitive those opportunities are. Are research opportunities mostly reserved for upperclassmen or students with connections? How do I find professors doing work I care about, and how do I reach out without feeling like I don’t know enough yet? I’m willing to work hard and learn, but I also know that getting in the door can be the hardest part. This is something I want to figure out early because I don’t want to waste any time.

How has this changed the way you think about your future career, in particular?
Studying biology has significantly shifted thinking about my future career. Before , I had a narrow much potential paths . Now I'm considering my careers that involved applying biologicals principal to solve problems. For the example ,I'm intrigued by the possibility of working in biotechnology, developing many new medical treatments or agricultural practices .In biotechnology, for example, you could work on projects that aim to develop new medical treatments, such as designing drugs, vaccines, or gene therapies. These innovations could help fight diseases, improve patient outcomes, or even tackle global health challenges. The field of agricultural biotechnology is equally fascinating, with the potential to develop more sustainable farming practices, genetically modified crops that are resistant to pests or climate change, and solutions that can help feed the growing global population. As you explore these options, you might also find areas like environmental biotechnology (which addresses issues like pollution and climate change) or industrial biotechnology (focused on creating more sustainable processes for manufacturing and energy production). Each of these areas can combine your interest in biology with problem-solving skills to drive innovation and contribute to global challenges.

Should I choose Bioinformatics and what schoool to choose?
I read some articles that it is plausible to take bioinformatics even when a student didn't take biology classes (like me) BUT has a strong computer science background. As someone who wants to contribute to medical research, should I do it? I also see that Computational Biology / Bioinformatics curriculum is heavier on algorithm side. And what school should I choose? I am from Indonesia and looking for scholarship to study abroad.

How versatile and stable are the chemical engineering vs. bioengineering fields, and where do the two overlap??
I'm a student at Oregon State University currently majoring in Bioengineering. I'm considering switching to Chemical Engineering. So far, I have taken on one internship doing biochemistry research and I'm a licensed Pharm Tech. I know that I'm interested in Biochemistry and Chemistry, and I want to know which major is most applicable to pharmaceuticals or has the potential to expand my options should I find out I'm interested in non-pharma things. If you can, please also comment on any potential salary differences. Thank you for your help!

Which UCs in California have good medical connections to companies like pharmaceutical providers focused on using advanced technology?
I am an 11th grader in high school, and my focus in the job market is working in the medical field with the integration of advancing technology after graduating college. In college, I want to major in biotech. After graduating from four years of college, I would like to go to medical school for four years, but becoming a specialized doctor would take me two more years in medical school. In total, I will spend 10 years studying to prepare the right knowledge and understanding in the medical field. I would like to know anything about the medical field in pharmaceuticals so that I can prepare myself on what to do and what not to do before getting myself into this for 10 years. My skills are having a positive mindset to learn something new every day and an understanding of complex vocabulary in works of literature and songs.

BaghdadHow can I obtain a scholarship?
How can I obtain a scholarship to pursue a Master's degree in sciences, specifically in biotechnology or any other biology-related field? I'm not asking about the application process or requirements, but rather how I can be competitive. Which programs would be recommended for me, considering that my GPA is between 3.0 and 3.5? My current English level is B1, but I can reach C1 in a short time. Additionally, I would like to know if there are Master's scholarships that accept the Duolingo English Test, though I doubt it. I also have about 15 certificates from Coursera in various fields, with a focus on biology, and I have a passion for learning. Apologies for the lengthy message, and thank you.
