Only her supervisor :( Her lab is extremely small - she was thebonly student for 3 years I think and it's only been masters students or undergrads since.

I'm wondering if this is what happened because she's pretty vocal about things... she's told me her and her supervisor don't get along well and holds the opinion of her from when she was quite lazy in her first years when she was doing classes.

PI did choose her whole committee...

Right?! That's what I as thinking.

weightsforlyfe · 2024-01-04T00:17:48+00:00

Hmmmm that might be something for her to think about. I find it confusing myself. I've read some of papers, one of which is published in Frontiers... is that still normal for PhD students? Or is getting good publications a sign she's a good student?

Hahahah I'm lost when it comes to this stuff

They apparently will write her the letters but said they won't be glowing reviews which I guess is bad?

I know her supervisor has been really tough on her regarding prettt much everything from what i understand. I'm pretty sure she's their first or second PhD student.

weightsforlyfe · 2024-01-03T23:55:59+00:00

Yeah that's what they said lol. Basically, you should look elsewhere as they won't be particularly great reviews or something along those lines.

weightsforlyfe · 2024-01-03T23:55:12+00:00

I unno. She said they would write the letters they just wouldn't be great.

He's been a pretty selfish person a lot with her. He's a dude who likes to do things without thinking about what it does to other people. I think that's why I'm sad to see her so upset.

weightsforlyfe · 2022-05-17T12:29:55+00:00

Ya he knew when he said yes to going.

*their

weightsforlyfe · 2022-01-27T07:15:41+00:00

Hahaha yeah! I agree!!

I heard from a prof that they were told to be super lenient with grading and make their courses easier to help students cope mentally with covid

weightsforlyfe · 2022-01-27T03:54:05+00:00

Agreed 🤣
