oh noes, not that guy again! this was written over 4 years ago before i became a professor, so YMMV :) i haven't looked at this for years; this is a more updated (and complementary) take on some of these issues, how that I've advised ~25 research students so far: http://www.pgbovine.net/managing-me-as-your-advisor.htm

Wow. He must be a cool guy to work for because the guide doesnt cover the real issues students in applied sciences struggle with:

1) conflict of interest

2) your PI not killing a project

3) your PI making you do everything but graduate

4) visiting scholar becomes the first author on your paper (happens a lot)

5) we can't do the right thing because we dony have any money

6) I validated my hypothesis, god forbid we run a replicate. Or I have all the data I'm a going to get, how do I publish a paper with it?
