Benefits of Doing Research as an Undergraduate
• Good introduction to what graduate school and research is like
• A fun and rewarding way to earn credits (and sometimes income)
• Great opportunity to acquire an academic reference by working with an individual professor
• Professional Skills Development:o Problem-solving and time management skills
o Presentation and communication skills
o Teamwork and independent work skills

ANAT 396 Undergraduate Research Project
How it works:• Contact potential supervisors affiliated with the Department who
are doing research you find interesting• ANAT 396 supervisor can be any faculty member listed at:
mcgill.ca/anatomy/directory• If they agree to supervise a project, you’ll develop a proposal with
them, fill out a 396 project form and submit it for approval (to Joelle in M/28)
Evaluation:• To be determined with your supervisor• Minimum 50% of grade for final report

of 16 weeks• Fall/Winter: Part-time, 2 full days per week, in both Fall &
Winter semesters• Required course for ACB Honours students• Prerequisite BIOL 301 (or prior research experience) • Open to ACB Major students with a minimum CGPA 3.2, when
space permits (counts for 3 credits of BOC + 6 credits of electives)

Highlights and lowlights
What’s it like being a researcher?
Highlights:
Lowlights:
Work with colleagues with very different backgrounds.
Work independently yet you are part of a bigger team.
Make friends for life.
Whether you get it right or wrong, you’re actually doing science!
Mentoring junior colleagues and trainees.
Get to have fun!
Learning to deal with grant application rejections.
Learning to deal with manuscript rejections.
Learning to deal with rejections from your experiments!

Advice on choosing an advisor
So you’re thinking about becoming a researcher…
Commonly asked questions:
2. How do I get a PI to be interested in my application to do research in their lab?
3. What are the most important criteria when choosing a lab for a research project?
1. Do I need a high GPA to become a good scientist?
Thank you!
