They (grad students) come to learn but some professors just want to use them to lighten their own workload. I would frame this very differently. Grad students and postdocs are the workforce of the lab. It's uncommon for a PI to spend much time in the lab. But that doesn't mean that the relationship is exploitative. Usually your PI works with you to develop your skills, in lab work and writing. You also should be working toward work that literally has your name at the front of it. Like, there are good lab environments and bad lab environments, but I would label your description as pretty misleading. Typically you are either interviewing for a particular lab, or you do rotations, in which case you get the chance to scope out the lab environment. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] ... Copied to Clipboard! |
