LOL
These answers are awful!!!
Hahahaha, can you imagine going into his office, and he goes, “So what type of project would you like to work on during your rotation?”
“I would like to cure Alzheimers, Parkinsons, or ADD.”
shilolo is one of the few with a legitimate research questions, but I don’t think cognitive memory work would necessarily be right for that lab (perhaps in the other you had been considering, though).
And EmpressPixie suggests work involving the corpus callosum, a fascinating structure, IMO.
While I’m sure you could negotiate your way into investigating any question, this is only a rotation, and I think you could benefit the most from rotation guidance by investigating something closely related to his field of expertise. I would strongly suggest carefully reading his most recent papers before the meeting. Reading the papers will naturally create new research questions for you, and he would think you were amazing if you employed my technique that we talked about the other night in the context of, “In paper X, you discussed the theoretical possibility of Y as related to your findings that Z. W suggests that Y is indeed a possibility, but I would suggest that we V in order to investigate this. This would be a feasible project for me to, at least, begin, during my rotation to you, and I believe it could greatly contribute to our understanding of Z.”
