Since its PI-vetting season for hopeful grad school entrants, annual reminder to go for the nice PI not the one with the fancier-sounding research

PSA!!!!!!!

I cannot emphasize this enough. I’m near the end of my masters (my PI is amazing thankfully) but genuinely there are more bad PIs than good ones, I’m not even BSing anyone. Too many horror stories from friends and lab-neighbours. VET YOUR LABS WELL!! Ask the right questions. ASSESS THE VIBES.

Edit: After I posted this, I was on a call with my friend and we tried counting the good PIs we know... we counted 3-4 LOL
