Hi all,
I am a current physics undergrad student. I recently got a position on a research team doing several different biophysics research projects. Since I am just an undergrad, I get to start out doing basic low-level work like running image analysis algorithms. I am getting a little bit worried because I feel as though biophysics may turn out to be more biology than actual physics. This is a concern because as a physics undergrad I want research experience in physics, not biology.
I know I have hardly provided any details. Just ask whatever additional information you may want and I will do my best to answer.
I guess my question is basically this: For someone who wants to go to grad school for physics but is not sure of what specific area, does it make sense for me to do biophysics research, or would it be better to do something like liquid helium physics, or neutrino physics, etc.
