Would it be possible to continue the year (but working ~full time) in the lab where you're doing your thesis? Would the extra year give you enough time to convert the thesis project into a first-author publication?Hi all, thank you for the feedback!
@eteshoe I am not completely closed to the idea of doing research during my gap year. However, I am worried that, if I do research, especially if I am only taking 1 gap year, it will be hard to find a position that is intellectually challenging/stimulating. I don't know if I'll find a lab willing to give me a project to work on for only a year, and I don't want to be washing bottles and making media for a year. Thus, I thought it'd be cool to explore something a little outside the realm of research for a year. This may be an illogical fear, so let me know.
