[quote=Anonymous]I was a grad student and postdoc in a lab that sometimes got these requests. Thank goodness the PI was nicer than the OP. If there’s a way for the kid to help out/learn something— great! If there’s no spot for them, a polite email explaining that works just fine. It is in no way “rude” for a kid to ask. You are not too good to respond kindly to a teenager’s email (or even ignore it without complaining). And I’ve never heard of research professors who “wouldn’t even work with an undergrad.” 🙄 Get over yourself. [/quote]
