How to email professors?

[puppyfat100]

Hi all,

I'm currently applying to a bunch of biomedical science programs across the U.S.. I heard that it's recommended (for some schools) that you email/contact research professors whose research you're interested in. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to go about contacting them. What should I say in the email? For applications that ask if there are any professors/faculty endorsing your application, how do I go about finding someone who will do that?

Thank you so much in advance!!

Use the search bar at the top right and type "contact." There are a dozen good results in there for threads where this has been extensively covered.

Here are a couple recent threads:
