i can't decide where to continue working this coming semester
i started freshman year at a biopsych lab...interesting projects and peoples, i think the professor really liked me, told me i can work there whenever i want, would prefer to have me there for the rest of my undergrad if i so chose...however i didn't have my own project and felt i was just doing alot of grunt work. one minor abstract co-authored...nothing big
so, i found another lab (pharmacology), starting sophomore year, own project and all, however the PI's never around. i've barely had a conversation with him and i've worked for him for a full year. he's in the lab for like two hours in a week, and i really don't think he's willing to write LORs from the conversations i have had with him. but...i do have my own project there and i'm making some progress, albeit slow, and when i need help, i just ask the grad students. if i do finish this project, there's a good chance of getting published.
so, i might finish the project this coming semester, but my old professor has been asking me to come back....what do i do? any suggestions will be greatly welcomed
