So i am working in a research lab at CU. What i research is morpholino injections into Zebrafish embryo's to knock out specific genes. What we study is "tooth development" and was wondering if this will look better than other areas of research.

Also, i applied for a BURST grant for 2500 dollars and was accepted. Im sure this is good to.

Also, morpholino injections require a steady hand. Will Dental schools automatically assume that i have a steady hand or is that something i should say for skills i obtain and how i obtained a steady hand (through microinjections).

Let me know what you guys think.

Also i have shadowed a few different dentists (endo, and 2 genera). Should i attend one every week or just all three and switch off weeks or so?
 
i will be helpful, if you can relate to dentistry.

Any research is good research. Getting a grant for it is even better. You can list microinjections in the description of your research on the application. You can just shadow your dentist's based on your own personal schedule. It might be easier just to pick your favorite dentist and work with him rather than spread it all out.
