I want my experience in my lab to be significant. I want to do something on my own and I want to try to publish. I haven't discussed anything yet with my PI because I want to come up with something first to propose. I want it to be something that is interesting to me but also that is feasible (with my skills and availability).
Do people typically just ask the PI for a project assignment? Or did you come up with an idea that you wanted to test? Did you prepare by reading countless relevant articles and forming a novel hypothesis? How closely do you have to stick to the topic that your PI is following? Can you stray from this somewhat?
