You might want to start by browsing the research papers (think of them as "essays") at https://www.plos.org/ to find the areas you are most interested in. They have thousands of peer-reviewed articles which you can read for ideas for your essay and research ideas. You might then consider contacting the authors of those papers to inquire about education or work at their institutions.
