.@michael_nielsen "enjoy the thrill of discovery rather than vainly attempt to claim priority" - words to live by :)
@ctitusbrown I always have mixed feelings about this. Fine for Kay to say - but not so much a beginning grad student.
@michael_nielsen I disagree. Your advisor's job to point you, place your research; grand student's job to be enthusiastic.
@michael_nielsen I don't think it's grad student's responsibility to assert themselves from day 1.
@ctitusbrown Neither do I. As I said, I think it's a good idea for them to learn how to assert themselves, that it's okay (& to let it go)
