I am in the 2nd year of my undergraduate and I am very much interested in doing research in biology, chemistry and physics! I saw research opportunities under my professors but they are too complex for me to even think about it! However, I had this thought that famous scientists, like Issac Newton, never did any complex experiments. So, it's also possible that I can think & observe the world around me & figure out something like that too! So, I had a couple of questions to begin my this adventure:
I would really appreciate if someone can help me to explain in detail all the things, I need to do in order to begin thinking & doing my research!
I'll answer only the first question, but replication of previous research is an important endeavour. It might not be as important in the areas you mention as in some others (e.g., medicine, psychology). But it is a great way for undergraduates and even graduate students to learn. In my pgm, our doctoral students were encouraged to run a replication study as their first research experience.
Rhianon Allen I would surely think about this! It will help me to understand the structure of several types of research as well as their approaches to find results. Thank you for your answer!
