  1. [19:23:30] ConicSans: so im finally getting around to writing that email to my neuro professor
  2. [19:23:46] ConicSans: and the nerves of trying to properly structure an email are back
  3. [19:23:55] ConicSans: remind me again what to do pls?
  4. [19:25:09] IWouldPreferNotTo: Yee
  5. [19:25:12] IWouldPreferNotTo: Start with an intro
  6. [19:25:23] IWouldPreferNotTo: Talk about who you are and how you are connected to this prof
  7. [19:25:46] IWouldPreferNotTo: Next, talk about what you like about their research and what you have read from their papers/presentations
  8. [19:26:10] IWouldPreferNotTo: From there, connect it to the fact that you love this research so much you were hoping if there were any open positions in their lab
  9. [19:27:05] IWouldPreferNotTo: And then just offer to meet with them and say that you can send stuff like a resume/anything else upon request
  10. [19:27:50] IWouldPreferNotTo: And then give a very courteous goodbye and closer
  11. [19:31:59] ConicSans: thanks a million, ill do my best!
  12. [19:32:22] ConicSans: and subject would be what?
  13. [19:54:59] IWouldPreferNotTo: Uh
  14. [19:55:00] IWouldPreferNotTo: Idk
  15. [19:55:04] IWouldPreferNotTo: Possible research position? Maybe
  16. [19:55:20] ConicSans: what did you do for yours?
  17. [19:55:59] IWouldPreferNotTo: It's hard to check
  18. [19:56:00] IWouldPreferNotTo: I sent it years ago
  19. [19:56:11] ConicSans: f
  20. [19:56:18] IWouldPreferNotTo: I wouldn't worry about the subject too much
  21. [19:56:21] IWouldPreferNotTo: Just make it to the point
  22. [19:56:29] ConicSans: do you mind if i send you a pic of the finished product before i send it?
  23. [19:56:39] ConicSans: am noob at this
  24. [19:57:08] IWouldPreferNotTo: Sure
  25. [19:57:15] ConicSans: thanks!
  26. [19:57:40] ConicSans: is it a bad thing if i ask more questions rather than specific points i like about the study?
  27. [19:58:00] ConicSans: cuz i still want to circle it back to getting in dat lab
  28. [19:58:41] IWouldPreferNotTo: It depends how you integrate it
  29. [19:59:15] ConicSans: could it be something like
  30. [19:59:32] ConicSans: "may i visit your lab to learn about the procedures you use"
  31. [19:59:45] ConicSans: more like an asking from an educational standpoint sorta way
  32. [20:01:40] IWouldPreferNotTo: As I said, it depends completely on how you integrate it
  33. [20:01:47] IWouldPreferNotTo: Your approach can be completely valid
  34. [20:01:53] IWouldPreferNotTo: but I'd def have to see lol
  35. [20:16:08] ConicSans: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/633835616177618945/645069519542550549/unknown.png?width=750&height=601
  36. [20:16:16] ConicSans: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3174232/#pone.0024949.s001
  37. [20:16:40] ConicSans: first link is the email and the second is the research study, it's really intimidating to me
  38. [20:18:46] IWouldPreferNotTo: I like that
  39. [20:18:55] IWouldPreferNotTo: It's got your own spin on it which is also really important
  40. [20:19:19] ConicSans: still no subject, but it's not the worst thing right?
  41. [20:19:31] IWouldPreferNotTo: Yeah I'd try to think of one
  42. [20:19:34] IWouldPreferNotTo: That's the only thing though
  43. [20:20:06] ConicSans: boyd is also a relatively chill professor (by chill i mean he openly talks about how hard he partied in his college frat in texas0
  44. [20:20:54] ConicSans: so im hoping he won't press me too hard if he does end up seeing my transcript
  45. [20:21:04] IWouldPreferNotTo: Most profs are
  46. [20:21:12] IWouldPreferNotTo: I think you'll be fine
  47. [20:21:29] IWouldPreferNotTo: The best advice I was given is that profs are people too
  48. [20:21:36] IWouldPreferNotTo: And some of them also had similar GPAs in college so they'd get it
  49. [20:21:39] ConicSans: subject is: Questions about your Motor Receptor Research
  50. [20:23:33] ConicSans: does that work
  51. [20:25:28] IWouldPreferNotTo: Sure
  52. [20:25:33] IWouldPreferNotTo: or just research
  53. [20:25:33] ConicSans: okay
  54. [20:25:41] IWouldPreferNotTo: "Questions about your Research"
  55. [20:25:50] ConicSans: gotcha
  56. [20:26:03] ConicSans: also send it tomorrow morning maybe? or is now fine
  57. [20:26:08] IWouldPreferNotTo: uhhh
  58. [20:26:33] IWouldPreferNotTo: I personally think Monday-Wednesday is the best time to send these emails
