- monkeybutton 5y agoThis is the best advice and the largest mistake I made when going to grad school. I was not engaged with what my advisor was interested in and doing. They (kinda rightly) didn't give a shit about anything outside of their lab's scope of work. Find an advisor whose niche is related to what you find interesting. Otherwise don't expect much attention or feedback from them.
- saddist0 5y ago+1, seniors at your college might be another viable alternative [to select supervisor]. This post isn't the best way to select your thesis "topic". Anyone on HN knows nothing about your interest or you for that matter.
