Advice regarding confronting professors about their research
I am a first year physics student and very interested in being involved in research in some capacity (even if that means being a volunteer lab monkey), however most 'official' avenues of undergrad research involvement are through co-op or some sort of NSERC thing that I can't even think about until 2nd year. Can anyone give me tips on how to confront professors about possible volunteer opportunities?
A large motivation of this is getting to know professors and their research which will set me up for my later years as an undergrad when I might actually be able to do something in a research capacity.
