I worked on research through college, but it was social science research, and the woman I was working with had very little research experience herself, and wasn't a phd or anything fancy. So I gave that an entry, explained what we did, and then added at the end "I have previous research experience working as a lab assistant for two years in high school. I worked under (his name), professor of immunology at Feinberg School of Medicine."
It was only in high school, but I only wrote that much and didn't give it it's own entry or anything. I wanted to get across that I do have hard science research experience (It was a real paying job for a while). I still remember enough to explain the basic idea of what we were working on if asked. So do you think this is okay? Or is it weird to be trying to sneak in a high school thing like that?

May I suggest becoming involved with something that allows you to practice and hone your writing and spelling skills?

Point noted! Although I could write more clearly but again I thought that the statement did bring its message across so did not feel the need to explicitly spell out the words. But if people do feel more comfortable with writing that is more coherently tied together then I could consider that in my future postings 🙂
