  5. Thanks guys for your comments, I didnt mean to rant, I do understand the things you are saying. Its incredible how positive your replies are.
  6. I think you misunderstand. I am all for free exchange of ideas. But picture this scenario. I spend hours on tech sites reading blogs and stuff and tell my adviser "hey this new technology is the next big thing, lets work on it, i built this initial prototype over the weekend isnt it cool?". and he says "sure its great, but finish ur current project first" or "u always deviate, stick to what ur doing" and two days later, he says "remember that technology ur talking about.. share that prototype with these undergrads" and then he turns to them and says "this is all his idea, i dont knw anything abt this technolgy, feel free to disturb him anytime with ur questions" and then he turns to me and says "thats ok with u rite?". what am i supposed to say? Just yesterday, i made a ppt presentation for my seminar, he just handed it to his other student and said, i like this template better than urs, so use it. I spent hours on creating that template.
  7. Thanks guys. @rising_star: I would like to make it clear to him that anything I discuss with him still remains "mine" and simply "citing" me doesn't suffice.My colleagues have suggested not discussing any parallel thoughts during any meetings. I find that hard to do. Is there any other way?
  8. Thanks, but I dont think my problem is that serious. I believe that it was an honest oversight from my adviser, he is usually prompt in giving due credit. I want to ask the forum, how they ensure all discussions are made in a format that is official or on record. Since, a lot of times my adviser repeats back things I told him over coffee or something as his own ideas.
  9. Hi, I find that discussing ideas with my advisers or peers, dilutes my ownership to extents that I am sometimes left out. For example, I discussed an interesting idea with my adviser but my adviser felt it would be a deviation from my current projects and we could not immediately find some solutions. He promised we would comeback to it later. Some months later, I found out that he has thought of a work around and assigned that project to some undergraduates and has started publishing with them! I subtly confronted him but he maintained that it was a different thread than the one I was discussing, even so, having put the seed in his mind, I would have liked him to have me in the loop. Nevertheless, I would like to ask the forum, How to professionally convey ideas to adviser and peers so as to retain ownership but get good advise? Thanks.
