If half of the time is thinking, why do you need to be on the spot? Seems really counterproductive to me.

- Bombthecat 8y agoHe probably means planning meetings. Never understood what the purpose is to fill half the day with meetings. Beside the illusion of productivity.

- edhu2017 8y agoWe don't plan too many meetings. Once a week for a lab wide meeting. Most of these meetings are casual and just discussions between cliques of phd students on specific topics.
- edhu2017 8y agoBeing in the lab helps me focus on my thinking. I also discuss my current thinking and problems with my peers for critique, and I can do the same for them. I'm more conditioned to do research, and my mind wanders less in the lab. However, I do agree that having free time and being away from the lab is important to get a fresh view of things.
