I would often refer to the citation i.e. the study and then go on to say what they found in the ... |
2021/04/21 | 5,342 | 23,764 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm a first year math grad student. As an undergrad, all my professors followed the given text book closely, making lecture easy to prepare for and very predictable.

2021/04/23 | 1,306 | 5,656 | <issue_start>username_0: As someone who conducts research that is unlikely to be of any relevance to the common man, I would like a little perspective on the impact that pure research plays in society, and how I can, in some sense, feel *better* about my research contributions.
In a field such as pure mathematics, one... |
2021/04/23 | 958 | 3,889 | <issue_start>username_0: I found that my former PhD advisor was still listing me as his student and he was the chair of my committee. I changed advisors a few years ago and left him. He didn't remain in my committee. It is true that he was my advisor to that point. But I feel it's not fair to my current advisor, who ac... |
