I've been looking into research year options, and originally aimed to only work under a neurosurgeon scientist with the thought that it would be better to get a letter from someone in the field. Unfortunately, these connections are hard to come by and I'm now wondering if I should start reaching out to non-neurosurgeons who are performing similar research. What are people's thoughts on this? Is it worth it if it means working in a productive lab with an interesting project, or does the lack of a neurosurgeon letter offset the benefits?
