Life as a graduate student can seem overwhelming.<\/p>\n

by Nate Jones<\/a>, Vertebrate Ecology Lab<\/p>\n

We must constantly extend our gaze out from the familiar, into a void of unknowns – where to start? – which courses? – what research is relevant, yet approachable? – how will we find funding? – is our study design robust? – are the data sound? – which condiments in the student fridge have gone bad over winter break?<\/p>\n

Seemingly heavy questions.<\/p>\n

But we must remember that all endeavors start with an, idea, a hunch, a dream (or, an ultimatum?).\u00a0 The best we can do is take stock of our knowledge, double-check our equipment, and jump into things.\u00a0 We wouldn’t have made it this far in school if we weren’t fully capable… and more than a little crazy!<\/p>\n
