Lindsey Brough '08
Classic Frustration Hanging on my adviser’s door is an Albert Einstein quote: “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?”
The truth of this comment has been my greatest source of frustration and intimidation with this project. Overcoming the stressful and overwhelming feeling of diving without direction into a project with unknown outcomes has been the biggest challenge for me. As a typical undergraduate student, I was under the impression that professors have all the answers! In fact, my adviser’s mantra has been “It’s your job to research the unknown—you’re going to be the expert; you’re eventually going to teach me.” As utterly frustrating as this has been, the prospect of discovering something new and, ironically, teaching my adviser has encouraged me to accept fully the classic frustration of research. — Lindsey Brough
