So one of my professors of Ecology is big on amphibian research, and right now, he's recruiting students for research into Central American lizards. To be real honest, I have no idea what kind of research it is or what it's about just yet. All I know is that involves lizards.
Getting other research positions is relatively hard at my school (unless you have connections), so--being a pre-med--should I take this opportunity and do lizard research?
In all honesty, lizards don't interest me, but I really do want some research experience in order to boost up my resume some and possibly even gain more influence or "connections" amongst the biological faculty here to do more medically-related research on campus.
Basically, will lizard research help me out any in terms of applying to medical schools in any way? Or should research experience for a pre-med student be more medically related?
