Quotes

  • When a student picks a research topic, the decision is influenced by the research interests of the advisor, the state of the field in which the problem lives, the personality of the advisor, the chemistry between them ... who else in working on whichever problem. It's immensely complicated. And asking for a sort of simple prescription for how to assign research problems — it reminds a little of the question of how to decide who should marry whom.
