Worth it to include this on resume for SA 26?

I'm a sophomore at a semi target (Emory/Vandy/WashU) and have lots of relevant finance experience (internships, clubs) on my resume. However, I'm also conducting research in a non-finance biology related topic at my school with a professor.

Is it worth it to include this experience on my resume to help me stand out, or would it detract from the rest of the finance experience and make me seem indecisive? Any advice would be amazing, thanks!

This can only help you lol. Differentiation from the typical boilerplate kid that recruits for high finance is a plus.

 

Thank you very much, would you recommend including it under clubs/activities or under the education section? My work experience/internship section is already pretty full.
