[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chinese are pretty good at doing the crunch work, but they have no imagination or leadership skills at all. Put them in a cubicle to solve mathematical problems, that's all they are good for. [/quote] PP who was a grad student in the hard sciences. Those non-technical skills should be taught and developed by your graduate advisors and mentors. But if they take the time to do that, the grad students and post-docs are less productive in the short term. So unfortunately, students (of any race/ethnic group) who are in environments like that never develop those “soft” skills. My PhD advisor had us regularly write up our work and took the time to critically review it so we could improve our scientific writing, we had to present on non-research topics regularly. Those skills were as important as knowing the science, and were more work for her than if she just told us what to do in the lab every week. [/quote]
