Read pages 4--7 of {\em On Being a Scientist}. Write brief answers to the following questions, by editing the tex file available at \url{https://github.com/ionides/810f21}, and submit the resulting pdf file via Canvas. We are primarily concerned with the mentorship relationship between a PhD student and their thesis adviser, but you may also consider the broader academic context.
