Hi!

I'm currently in the process of cold-emailing professors about undergraduate research opportunities and was hoping to get some advice from people who have gone through the process.
For those who got involved in research, what did outreach look like for you? How many professors did you end up emailing before finding a position? And is it worth stopping by professors' offices in August before the semester starts if I haven’t gotten any responses?

I'm majoring in physics and especially interested in particle physics, but I'm open to most areas of physics research. If any physics students have recommendations for labs, professors who are good mentors, or groups that might be looking for undergrads, I'd love to hear about them!!

Thank you!
