Me and my friend did a project as a team. He now wants to write my half of the project in his master's thesis as well. Should I allow him to?
So, I'm at the end of my second year in a nationally-ranked Microbiology program (USA). I got a conditional pass on my qual last month, and my revisions are due in a couple days and I really have doubts about whether they will be accepted by my committee.
So to give you some context: I've been living with anxiety and mild depression for more than 10ish years.
Every time I get comments on a paper draft from collaborators, I feel nauseated. The comments have never been harsh, yet I always feel like they'll see whatever issues the paper has as evidence that I'm an idiot. As a result, it takes me longer to edit papers, because I get so anxious when reading their comments.
So, im finishing off my PhD. I'm leaving towards going back to industry simply because I hate the toxic side of academia/ felt extremely unappreciated by my new PI.
I was asked by a former professor to write a letter of rec for his promotion to tenure track/associate professor.
