Research Question

[soccerusa]

Hello,
I am an undergraduate physics major. I am excited about getting involved in research in this upcoming year. I was wondering if having research experience in the physics department would look any worse than one in the biology department or medical school. I really enjoy physics and would like to focus my research there for now but do not want to put myself at a disadvantage for medical school. Thanks for the input.

No.

No.

What sector9 said. Do whatever interests you.

It is a good thing. It will likely make you stand out from all of the other biology research.

It's pretty much accepted that phys is harder than bio...

IMHO though it wouldn't be a bad idea though to still familiarise yourself with bio research (through casual reading), at least enough that if someone gave you a bio paper you'd understand why it might be important.

Honestly, it will actually be good in a way, you'll stand out amongst other students that simply did research in biology, biomedical (not saying that's totally bad, since I had cancer, biomedical research )

Learning how to research is more important than what you research.

There could be some bio research labs that use physics. I know math majors and engineers are used often in biology labs.
