>>13707704Currently somewhat combative but in a good nature.
He's a good guy who is focused on the mentorship and getting all his students to graduate as fast as possible. Not trying to extract work. But similar to
>>13707730 he started me on a project using two different techniques he has 0 experience in and bought an instrument for one of them without consulting any other professors who specialize in that stuff so we got something that is barely functional and I can't modify.
So we tend to butt heads because his expectations don't line up with the reality of the situation and having to teach myself all this shit without anyone to mentor is a real pain in the ass. I started a couple of collaborations and am now getting co-mentored by someone who does the technique I use for one half of my project, although my sample type is completely out of their wheelhouse.
inb4 teach urself. Instrumentation is different then just running calculations, it's basically witchcraft and needs someone experienced to train you for the best results.
