I did research with Daphne (and co-authored a paper with her) in my senior year of undergrad, and she demanded a high standard of work, yes, but she was an excellent supervisor. Everybody knows how brilliant she is, but she also put a lot of effort into teaching my (also undergrad) project partner and I about how to formulate a research problem, how to do research, and how to present research. The primary concern appeared to be our personal growth, not the research machine (though that's not to say that the research wasn't important).

Working with her was one of the highlights of my undergrad education, and her class was great, too.
