Hi everybody,
Currently I am working in a basic science lab doing an experiment and a meta-analysis. However, lately I’ve been thinking that it might be worthwhile to take on a clinical project with another PI given that
1. I’m not sure that the experiment will lead to publication
2. If it leads to publication, not sure if I’d be an author (there are like 3 students/residents working on it). I keep asking to write sections and do the data analysis (I’ve been told I could do some of this) but I feel like the others are also aiming to do this
I have enough time (doing well in classes/exams) to take on another project but am unsure if the PI in the first lab would get mad if I took on another project at the same time. This could possibly jeopardize authorship.
Finally, I’m stressing out because I’m just not sure how I will be able to get 5+ publications in 2.7ish years when it’s time for ERAS applications.
