Hi everyone,
I will be starting a PhD program in the fall, but I'm not quite sure what would be the best use of my time during the summer. Currently I work in a research lab with a graduate student, and he told me I could come up with a question that fits within our current project and produce a first author poster. The research isn't quite the same line of research that I plan to pursue in graduate school, so I'm wondering if it would be worth it for me to prepare a poster at this point. I also have the opportunity to work part time to bring in some extra money - which would be helpful before taking on student loans. Unfortunately I don't have time to pursue both options, any feedback is appreciated!
