Research takes time, so what’s a realistic outcome for the summer research student?

Pipette LeGogettuer (not her real name) wrote in to ask for our input on her summer research plans. Not only is she struggling to come up with a project idea but she has very specific hopes for her outcome–first authorship. Is that realistic? How can she find a project and someone who will sponsor her in their lab? Don’t worry, Pipette! Miranda Schene, Danial Syed, Art Thanupakorn, and Mahek Shahid–most of whom have done summer research themselves–have got your answers!
And Dave puts the crew through another of his ‘educational’ activities, a role playing scenario set in an operating room 100 years in the FYOOOTURE!
