Pros

I had the opportunity to observe really interesting research and sit in on seminars & talks from world-renowned scientists and astronauts.

Cons

The researchers I worked with were sometimes uncooperative in terms of timing and were difficult to communicate with. They reached out to me to participate in their research yet they communicated very poorly and would often forget to tell me about meetings or scheduled experiments. They were also inconsiderate of my time in terms of getting me started on a project and filing paperwork.
