You'll hear about how to build a research group through careful recruiting, listening to students and letting go of what is out of your control. Greg dives into the way he mentors students from the day they arrive in his group, he also discusses how he recruits graduate students to join his group and how he has worked through bad fits before. His purpose is produce the best students because they will go on to have a bigger impact in the world than any of this publications. The unifying theme through all of this is his listening to students, other faculty and industry members. This way he gets a handle on the whole landscape of the graduate student career recruitment through placing them in their next gig (whether that be a consulting position or a postdoc).
