I worked in his lab for one school year, during which I did not feel I had access to a safe working environment or the resources to become successful; the challenges were not academic, they were in managing my working relationship with him. I truly wish it would have been different as the work is interesting, engaging, and something I still hope to pursue in some amount in my career. However there was no work/life balance working for this lab, and it prevented me from developing skills as a researcher. managing my own life, commitments, happiness, and the free time I could have spent researching my own topics of interest in regards to the research work. I have now transferred to a different lab and a different advisor. The new lab provides a safe working environment, room to grow, while maintaining the life that I have already built. It provides the experience I sought in leaving my career to pursue something greater.
If you are reading this in contemplation of working with this lab, I hope it provides something of use in your decision.
No, I don't recommend this PI.

## Advisor Style & Mentorship 5 students left in one year. He seems to be "Hire and Fire" style. Push students to their limits and is very mean to his students.
## Research Toxic. Do not come. Check this page, he has done 90% of the listed items to the students. https://sos.umn.edu/sites/sos.umn.edu/files/files/media/toxic_behavior_1.pdf
