Hi everyone!
I recently landed an interview for a summer term position as a research assistant for an entomology lab. I have only done a small part in a public health research project (it had no laboratory work, and the majority of the work was done through making calls and reporting on a google doc), and I really got excited with this research assistant program since I would actually work in a lab environment. However, I am on pre-med, and I am wondering whether it is worth working in this research lab through the summer if I don't want to do anything remotely near entomology in the long-run. I am a freshman right now, so I think I'll have time to find other research positions; I just wanted to have an early start and have a lot of research experience before applying to medical school.
Thank in advance to anyone who answers!
