Abstract

This study explored how biological science doctoral students made decisions about fitting with a principal investigator (PI) and within a research lab. Results illuminated a complex array of factors students considered in selecting a PI, including PI mentoring style and professional stability. Peers and research projects played an important role in students’ lab selection.
