I accepted 3 candidates. Unfortunately, all of them dropped out some time into the programme (each of them lasted a few months give or take). I’m not sure whether it’s because (i) I’m a poor mentor (ii) I chose the wrong candidates (iii) there were no suitable candidates or (iv) just bad luck. Currently I am working with a collaborator, but ey arrived in a different way. Maybe I will write a detailed post-mortem some time, but I’m not sure.
