DISCOVER: What is research?

What is research?

If you’re just starting to explore what research is, Discover is the right place for you! Find out what is research and how it can help you achieve your goals!

Research is all about looking at a problem in many different ways, learning new things about it, and sharing what you learn with the world!

It is a way for you to let your curiosity guide your exploration, and to contribute to your community (academic or otherwise) while you’re at it! As an undergraduate student, it is also an awesome learning experience, as it gives you a chance to get hands-on experience with discovering and mobilizing new knowledge on a topic that you care about.

Does this seem interesting to you? You can read more about what undergraduate research is and how it can help you here!
