Can I get in touch with scientists in the research areas Ive chosen? Is this advisable?
A. Yes. As you explore the laboratories Web sites, you may identify scientists, offices, or divisions you would like to contact. The more you know about the laboratory, the better chance you have of making a choice appropriate to your interests and skills. HOWEVER, potential mentors are NOT authorized to offer you an appointment. If you are selected you must receive an official letter from ORISE.
