What advice do you have for prospective or new researchers?
Communicating your research is just as important as doing the physical lab work. Your PI/mentors value you dedicating time to do the lab work/whatever task in-person but more often than not, they are expecting you to know the fundamentals of your project and understand the precedents already set in your research area. Read the group's publications and learn the language and knowledge within the topic and it will beneficial for you in the long run!
