Bob's Helpful hints
Apply for every URO grant.
Construct a conservative timeline for the completion of your project -
and stick to it.
Begin to write early
You may have more than two readers.
Consult your readers regularly.
I would strongly recommend applying to present your talk at
the Annual West Coast Biology Sciences Undergraduate Research Conference
in early May.
There's 2 possible outcomes: If the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
OK guys, bite the bullet and write, write, write!
