  1. Hello all. I wasn't sure where to post this. I hope you can help.

    I was awarded both the NSF GRFP and the NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunity to begin in Fall 2020. NSF GRFP is for three years (34K + 12K per year) and NASA NSTGRO (80K per year which includes a yearly stipend of 36K) is for four years. I know that I can only select one (unless I am wrong - still doing the research as I just received notice from NASA). Has anyone been in this situation? I know that this is sort of a major life decision as choosing NSF may eventually lead to a potential academic career and choosing NSTGRO may lead to a career at NASA. 

    Also, have you been in the same situation in terms of funding? Were you able to stack fellowships? 

    I would appreciate any tips on how to deal with this. 

     

    Thanks!

  2. Hello everyone. I am new to GradCafe as I will be an upcoming graduate student in the Fall 2019. I got into a summer research internship this summer, and I want to make the most out of it. 

    I will be working with two students. They sent me a thesis and a few papers to read about their work, motivation, and experiment. 

    • What is the best and most effective way to read papers? In undergrad, I feel as if it is very different.
    • How do you guys analyze papers/thesis? What should I be looking for? 
    • What software do you use to sort/cite what you read online? 
    • Any other tips for a newbie?

    Thank you!
