Welcome! It's a great community here and I think you'll want to stick around. :D

I also think it's a funny coincidence that I named a stud basically the same thing as your username:

Wow! That is super cool! Can you tell us a little bit more about what you are researching? Sounds exciting! I'm still in high school but have NO idea what I want to do with my life.

If you are creative writing/drawing I have a giveaway going on for a show horse. (Has someone explained the importance of show horses?) Too bad you missed my game of guessing the horses genotype through observation, and the parent's genotype.

Here's my giveaway/contest

Wow! How do I do what you’re doing? I’ve always liked science stuff, and when I had a decent teacher I liked genetics.

I’m guessing you already know but for every 10 points a horse has they will give you (about) 1 point a day. There’s an exact formula but I don’t remember what it is. So if you have a 2,000 point horse they will earn you 6,400$ a month, which is twice what a normal horse goes for in auction.

Well the best way to get involved in research like that is to find a science professor you work well with at whatever university you end up going to after high school. Ask them about what their own research, get to know them, and ask about student research resources. I know it varies by location, but some of the smaller colleges have quite a lot of resources set aside for student projects. Ask them about your idea, and see what they think about it. They might send you to someone else in the department who's more knowledgeable about the topic you're interested in, I know this project has me bouncing between two or three at a time for advice.


Some of the professors at my school have students that work with them in their lab, on their own projects and with the professor on their research. Its a great way to get your name out there, if you find you like research and want to do it for a living.

That might be something to consider, then, in your college search. Asking questions about how much student research is encouraged, whether there are local research programs to support such endeavors, and if there are any professors who specialize in your area of interest are all good ways to help narrow down your choices.
