Choosing a LAB

To join, or to drop out of Purdue... that is the question.

After 4 rotation, I'm like "mhe... sure I guess I could work on either research for my next # years" (# cause... u know :P)

So first runner up
Sophie's LAB

Pros:
Organized, has graduated 3 students all ready, 2 went post-doc, one went industry.
Connections in Berkeley, collaborations with Comparative Oncology Program in PURDUE (One that looks to cure cancer in dogs and humans :D)
Only lab with a Post-doc
Lab will be very international (China, Japan, India, France)
Has all ready told me won a grant to support me for 3 years.
Cons:
Lab safety FREAK... I can't walk in with a bottle of water, have to wear coat all time, and seems she can get pretty angry at times :(
After summer when Lesly leaves... gonna be an all guys lab :(


Second Runner up
Claudio's Lab
Pros:
New lab... according to stynky, that means I'll get push to work hard
The guy has read the Dark Knight Returns.
uh...wow running out of things... guess the fact that has new equipment should count, cooler than developing films old school.
CONS
New lab... dunno if he graduates people in time.
Lab mate kind of arrogant.
Funding seems not certain.

Third runner up
Dr Harrison's LAB
Pros:
She is SOO NICE, she reminds me of my grandmother.
and thats about it... the lab is so old, she doesn't know much whats going with her students, the only one that I saw was advancing on her project is an UBERNERD... you would be by yourself in that lab... I still need help, not that independent.
Also lost technician recently :(

Fourth:
Dr Muhammed Lab
Pros:
Coolest lab mates of my rotations (NO, they are no geeks... I'm in biology remember?) But still really crazy and nice.
Cons:
The fancy equipment they have I had to learn how to use it by calling the company...she didn't know how to work with something her lab promotes is their expertise ... kinda dissapointing.
At the beginning she had student waste their time in a useless endevour
Promise a raised to a technician which she never got. They still seem to get along, but there is tension, I feel it.

So you see... That is what I came up with for now, I'll see if something new worth mentioning comes up... so the First lab seems the best.
Any questions?
Comments?
Suggestions?
