An interesting point. So what are less problematic/more appropriate terms? Group leader? Something else?https://twitter.com/maryellenlane29/status/899627986932183041 …

Advisor is nice though. IMHO better than boss and better than supervisor at delimiting and explaining role.

Crossing tweets :) I avoid "mentor" as default bc specific connotations, but I think adviser works for students.https://twitter.com/biochembelle/status/899750208128647168 …

PhDs in UK for example only last 3-4 years typically and students don't usually take classes. Important to bear in mind differences.
-
Yep—I think advising covers a few things that might a bit differ bt PhD work & other mgmt & mentoring roles.
-
I've also been under impression (perhaps mistaken) that "PhD mentor" isn't typically (or at least as frequently) used to describe role in UK
-
Neither is advisor. It's almost always "supervisor".
