So I've got a couple of interviews coming up and I'm not sure how much interviewers will want to know about my research. I'm a research asssistant in a lab, but not involved in too much "real thinking" because I don't have the biochemical background to help out in that respect (I can do troubleshooting of assays and that kind of thinking, but not much analysis or planning). I know WHY we're doing the research, what we hope to gain from it, and I understand the details of a project I worked on extensively last spring. But lately I've been just doing western blots, luciferase assays, etc. for my boss, and he seems to be working on a different project every week, and usually several projects at once, making it hard to keep up with what exactly we're doing currently. I'm just not sure how much detail I should be prepared to go into, and if I should ask my boss to explain in detail what he's been working on lately. Insights?
