Obviously not Asian [/quote]

I'm a professor that mentored an Asian-American student this year as part of her AP Research class. She got into an Ivy. Exceptional student and interesting research project. [/quote]

My DS is a rising freshman and will be doing Research Biology in 9th grade. Please do you have recommendations on how to go about finding a mentor for a research project and also how to pick a topic? I am not sure if the topic is already provided by teacher. [/quote]

OP here. I would suggest emailing a few professors in the Biology department of nearby universities. The student emailed me and asked if I would be interested in mentoring her. She provided information about my role and expectations as a AP Research mentor, timeline and proposed research topic. I was impressed by the student's email and clearly the student read some of my publications before approaching me. I was happy to mentor a promising student and will continue to help them present and/or publish her research.[/quote]

I am so glad that you were happy to give back. Thank you so much for your guidance.[/quote]
