Have any of you guys done REU programs or been with students on them, if you're in grad school? I'm applying right now for the summer. I go to a school with a pretty good reputation, and have gotten almost all A's in science and math, I should have good recommendations. But how do I write the statements without sounding like an egghead. Yes, Dr. Kreisberg I'd love to look at developing solid state lithium ion batteries with you and your group!
