My approach to Science and Graduate Students:
In my publications, I tend to prefer to produce completed stories and not short partial pictures. I also tend not to include myself on my student's papers unless I have contributed directly to the data collection and not merely ideas, funds, space and equipment. While I prefer to have my students work on topics associated with my current work, I am happy to have them work on related subjects. I currently also prefer to have my students working on behavioral, ecological or evolutionary questions; but there is broad scope for levels of approach. I also prefer my students to provide a balanced mix between lab and field studies, although this has varied between both extremes among my students over the years. I do not tend to have large numbers of students at one time and therefore have had a moderate number of students receive their PhD under my direction. However, they have tended to do very well subsequent to completing their PhD.
