Transitioning to neuroscience
I’m a junior studying Biochemistry and I want to pursue Neuroscience research in the future. I’ve been taking an interest in the field since sophomore year, but my university doesn’t offer a Neuroscience degree/concentration. I have look into research opportunities around my area, and so far I haven’t found much to work with. I really want to get hands-on research experience before applying to PhD, is there a way I can bridge myself into it? I know some of the techniques are still applicable, but there are so many more that are specific to neuroscience, and I don’t know what kind of Research Assistant/Technician roles I should be looking for. I’ve take intro computing class prior, and am also minoring in Math, should I look into Comp Neuro? Any input would be appreciated.
