I think the phrase "[...] a graduate student working for Gros [...]" should be corrected. Usually, a graduate student works "under the supervision" of someone. In most systems, and I doubt it is different here, a graduate student is not an employee of the supervisor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.135.39.248 (talk) 22:23, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

In Canada, in STEM disciplines, it's very often the case that graduate students are employees of their supervisors to at least some extent. Their funding comes as some combination of teaching assistant (TA) employment, research assistant (RA) employment, and outright scholarship grants, and the RA component would usually be working for the supervisor (TA often working for other professors in the department). I think this is typical in many other countries as well. Nonetheless, we don't know how this particular student was funded, and the fact they were supervised by Gros is probably more relevant than who paid them, so I support the change. 2607:FEA8:12A2:4300:0:0:0:4006 (talk) 18:44, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
The original wording ("working") belonged to me. I used the word since in an academic environment, a (clearly) multiyear collaboration between a grad student and a professor usually involves some job-like arrangements. That said, student was "working for" university, not the professor, and the current language is way better. Викидим (talk) 19:26, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

A bacteria large enough to be seen without a microscope. HOW IS THERE NOT A PHOTOGRAPHIC EXAMPLE OF THIS?! 2601:408:C401:5898:E9AE:B314:75B7:DAFD (talk) 12:26, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
