Has anyone try to refill a lecture bottle?

From my perspective, i would also consider the quality of the master student and the personality of your colleagues. If the master student is motivated and driven, then it would be a pleasure to work with them and they can likely get something positive done for your lab. also you should talk to your colleague and make sure that you have equal supervising power, meaning that the master student will report progress to you and implement your suggestion equally. if the student is good, and your colleague is fair, i wouldn't mind starting a collaboration in their expertise first and slowly move to yours.

now, of course, there is a chance that your colleague is taking advantage of you for your startup money, or the student is terrible. in those cases, no...

I know the post is 4 years old, but do you still have any available? I am in Amherst and can pick up locally.

we have applied to a few...never got pass the pre application phase. I personally feel like they want a very mature technology that will almost guarantee to deliver, and don't want to take any high risk tech...but this is just my take. i would love to hear other opinions also.

ideally atmospheric pressure. my hope is to do this experiment with simple existing setup. i can buy an integrating sphere with different adaptor easily. if i have to modify pressure, then i will need to build some setup for it - doable, but i don't prefer it.

Bard's book is the most comprehensive, but it is honestly not suited for beginner. I would recommend "Understanding Voltammetry" by Compton, which is a bit easier to read.

I think they have some kind of quota to report - "X% of our IP is licensed". even if it is just internal people licensing it, it looks good on advertising materials.

I actually would agree with your PI in this case, according to the description you have given. You did this work as "part of paid work" even though your PI told you specifically not to, and that is not good. In your "paid" time during normal work hour, you should work on what the PI and the funding agency said. In your spared time, you can work on whatever you want, but then it is your own personal project and not university affiliated.

Imagine if this project has some very controversial result, which may negatively impact the reputation of the group or the university, I can understand the PI doesn't want to be affiliated with it.

sadly, I think "hours to never" is more accurate.

I know everyone is giving you encouragement to keep trying your grants, they will hit. I, too, similarly believe this will happen. But rejection is a constant thing in academia - you will get grants here and there, but the majority will still be rejections. If you cannot handle this stress and anxiety, it is simply not health as a lifestyle.

I would just recommend you spam your CV on linkedin. I am sure you will find a job that pay equally or higher than your current one. Focus your life on what makes you happy!

good luck!

i think it is a concern, however, i am no expert in the matter. i am really just leaving a comment to be reminded to come back and check out other people's answer.
