- I am one of the persons who first acquired research experience with
- a work-study position. This is how I got through college (along with
- a state grant that paid for my tuition). This is also how I got my
- first taste of research, as well as interacting closely with a professor
- who became my unofficial undergraduate advisor and with graduate students.
- Trying to get this research experience on top of a full course load and
- 20 hours a week of work-study would have been an impossibility (or I would
- have had a nervous breakdown under all the stress).
- Thanks to this experience, I got to learn about the research
- process, run a study (and analyze the data) that eventually became my
- senior thesis and I presented it at APS last summer. Were it not for
- this work-study job, I don't think I'd be in graduate school today. If
- we ever create a manuscript based on this work -- where I work on the
- manuscript as well -- you better be damn sure that I expect to be placed on
- there as an author!
- In other words, I don't see the difference between giving authorship
- to a work-study student as long as he/she is involved in the entire process
- (or a large portion of the process), from creation to write-up.
- My $.02; now I've got to go study for finals.

- all the beautiful sentiments in the world
