I currently have a summer research position lined up, and I was wondering how feasible it would be to work on a second research project on the side over the next few months (since, like everyone else, COVID killed any travel plans I would have otherwise had....) Does anybody have any experience doing this, or have any tips on contact etiquette, setting boundaries on availability, and overall feasibility? I consider myself to be organized and really good with time management, but only if I have a good understanding of how much time I can devote to each endeavor I have.
Asking because I don't currently have much experience with research, and I'm aiming to match into large academic programs. Thank you!
