Advice
Keep pushing. There were days or many days in a row where there wasn't much going on in the lab so we didn't have any work or were forced to read scientific paper after scientific paper. But we continued to ask grad students if they had anything we could do or could watch and sometimes it paid off. Also, this was my third summer of applying for research jobs and I didn't hear about this one until March, which is pretty late, and I was expecting to get denied once again, but this time it worked out. So just because you don't get in or don't get the job this summer, don't give up try again. Sometimes it has less to do with you and more to do with funding or something else totally out of your control.
