So important to support grad students now. Many are wondering whether their rotations will be extended & when they are expected to match with labs. PIs should be in touch with their students & students should realize this is a real world test of lab life under stress conditions/1
As I said in yesterday's fac mtg, if a student rotated in 2 equally exciting labs, 1 which requires lab visits to mate crocodiles & 1 which can function with ppl @ home, their current experience is telling them which lab to join in 2020 /3
While we should accommodate students who need more time, we should also realize that some labs are extraordinarily productive now & that work brings the satisfaction that students are seeking by deciding to pursue PhD /4
Logical conclusion is that we should encourage PIs to meet with students about lab prospects in the current environment & let students match with labs on schedule if they so choose #scitwitter #gradschool
