  1. Thank you so much for the advice, @TakeruK. I think what you are saying makes sense. As much as this is confusing and troubling, I just have to put on my big girl pants and deal with this. Thank you for your time!
  2. Update: So this is what i cannot decide.. the graduate students are asking me 'ofh your advisor has left.. is he ok healthwise? or is it something else? but the truth is, i know as much as everyone else does.. which is nothing.. But I fear this makes me look like a complete fool,... like how do i not know what is going on with my pi.. In the meantime, I have meeting scheduled to talk to the DGS and also to another faculty member for taking over my advisor. But on a completely different side note: I actually really miss my PI. We had a very good relationship, and he has been tremendously helpful.. sort of like a father figure. I m so confused.
  3. Hello guys.. I find myself in a pretty shitty situation and would greatly appreciate some information. My phd advisor has been placed on administrative leave, pending an investigation. At this point, no one knows why and people who know are not telling or arent allowed to. I have absolutely no way to contact my pi since he is not allowed to. So basically im kinda like an orphan phd student at this point. Im in my third semester (2nd year) of my phd. Does anyone have any experience with this? How long do such investigations last? what would be the reasons for such an investigation? Any insight might help.
  4. I am a second year PhD student in a chemistry lab. When I joined the lab there were quite a few students. However, over the past two years all of the have left, some graduated while some quit. Now, theres only me and a fifth year PhD student in the lab. I feel alone all the time. Is it just me? Or are there other people who are in a similar situation.? My PI is a very hands off kind of advisor. He will always help when I ask for something but is not very chatty or does not like to socialize much. I kind of feel isolated and scared. Maybe I joined a wrong lab? Any insight would help.
