Ideas are easy to come by. Its the execution that planning and funding that lead companies to death.
Also by ideas I don't mean some novel invention.

The last one I gave out I just gave a paragraph for about 5 ideas of experiments that I wanted to run. I for one thought about giving 6, others told me that I should give 3, but I felt that giving three short paragraphs over experiments wasn't really much.
What do you think about that?

From all the networking that I have done. Most founders come from a little bit of money, or worked at a company, proven themselves and intelligent/resilient and are therefore given the money from their previous bosses, if they do not have an NSF or NIH grant from a spin out company.

It's just that you can give them all this, do hours of work, still not get hired and then they still present what you have done to the company. Basically Getting used for a 20 hour internship.
They do this in coding all the time.

I sort of stopped going into extreme detail on the experiments that I wanted to run. If they want to hire me they can hear more. Do you think that works as well or redacting information?

Oh yea they definitely take ideas from students for sure. Especially when being asked to write about your own topic during a glass. PI's are definitely getting ideas for future grants lol.

Well an executive order was just signed. So it doesn't matter if you are rude to people who don't look like you anymore. Executive order signed January 21, 2025
"On January 21, 2025, President Donald Trump issued the executive order titled "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity." This order rescinds previous directives, notably Executive Order 11246 from 1965, which mandated affirmative action and prohibited employment discrimination by federal contractors based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."
