You and your Research

https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/YouAndYourResearch.html

Main Ideas

• Commit to your idea
• Ask yourself: What are the important problems in my field?
• Communicate with the bright minds
• Ask the important questions
• Closed door, or open door
  • when you work with door closed
    • you work harder
    • you work on the wrong thing
  • open door working
    • get many interruptions
    • get important clues
  • My take on this is we should keep an open mind about what other people are doing and where the research is heading
