I am not even pursuing a PhD but I could listen to this guy talk for hours. Perfect mix of professionalism and nonchalance (ie hard ass reviewers - lol). I'm sure your students are lucky to have you.
Thank you for this video, Professor Lipomi! It is actually nice to hear such encouragement from someone who did not end up receiving this award but by all metrics went on to still become very successful.
Thank you, Professor Lipomi, for being an excellent resource for NSF-GRSP applicants... You discussed having 1-2 figures and were explicit about the first type of figure. Is there a second recommended figure type or something that you found visually appealing in applications?
Thanks Darren. I have just submitted my application and I've got my fingers crossed! I was wondering - how important are tables and figures? I am between undergrad and graduate school (working) and I've not done any preliminary studies that would produce data on my research proposal. Are 2 full pages of text frowned upon by reviewers?
